I think the accuracy will be very close for both rifles, so it really depends on which one you like better. I don't own a ruger, but I do own a savage 30-06 that will put 5 shots in an inch and 3 shots in a half inch with my reloads. It shoots very simular to that with factory loads also. My cousins ruger .264 mag is also very accurate, but not as accurate as my savage. The differance is only around 1/4 of an inch. Either way I think you will get rifle that will be more than accurate enough for any big game hunting.
