They both would be the right choice. Had a look at the Ruger/redfield package today. Pretty decent. Very nice trigger for ruger. Im holding off for the ruger american 300blk to come to these shores.
But ya also cant beat a Howa for a first rifle. There both in your ball park and both will do the job nicely.
If I hadnt handled the ruger today i would have gone with Howa but now I cant help ya as they are even in my books now. I liked the detachable rotary mag of the ruger, very relaible those ruger rotaries.
Goodluck.
