Making a decision on my first rifle and have it narrowed down to these 2.

I'm leaning toward the Rugar but I really like the reliability Springfield is known for.

Yes I know good luck finding them but when I do I am buying it.

I would like to mention that I am a beginner but not a novice when it comes to firearms. I have shot plenty of times and have been trained in gun safety, but never owned my own.

Thanks for anyone taking the time to answer.

I have both and like them both. Which I would prefer depends on how I plan to use it, but as an all around gun and having to choose, I'd go with the Ruger. Both are reliable, but it's lighter, easier to handle, less expensive to shoot.
