Good point about the Ruger vs the Winchester. American is better. I am going to use the gun for hunting and fun, nothing more.

The problems I have with the Ruger is:
1. It is my understanding that Ruger will not sell part to anyone. They want guns returned to them. (My small time, but very good, gunsmith says the won't sell him parts.)
2. Albet the resale is better on the Winchester. This may be moot, becuase I don't sell my guns.

I guess I need to think about a bit more.
