The Stevens may not start out as much but they have great genetics.
Bed them, tune the trigger if not replace them, and I have yet to see one that didn't shoot sub MOA with handloads. Most were 1/2 to 2/3 min. The one in the rainbow stock shot 3/8" at 100yds as the orig factory 223.
The 9 twist that comes with these rifles helps with the much nicer heavier bullets that work great on larger pooches.
Think the Stevens too basic, go with a Savage 11FCNS and it might just do all that you want.
Anyways, whatever makes you happy. I am sure the Ruger will come out in more cals but they are so far behind with what they are producing, nothing till 2013. See what SHOT indicates.
