I've never had any trouble with either of them. My choice would be the Winchester 100 though. My Winchester 100 (308) is more accurate than my Remington 742 (7mm express) and I think it looks better. The Win 100 will do 1.25 to 1.50 inch groups and the Rem 742 will do 2 to 2.5 inch groups with ammo they like. Both have always been reliable. Your milage may vary�
Winchester has a recall on the 100 firing pin. A quick call to the number on their web site will let you know if the 100 you are looking at has had the new firing pin installed. Mine hadn't. I got the new firing pin and a gift card for $30.00 in the mail in just a few days. It took about ten minutes to change the firing pin out.
