I think you are onto something with just finding a good deal on one or the other. There simply isn't enough difference in rifle offerings, kick, ballistics, etc... to mean anything.
I can say this confidently... my Model 70 WM has the Boss break on it. Ive never messed with the "Boss" adjustments... yet... But... that gun does NOT kick. Ive never shot an "Unbroke" one... but I have heard they kick. My dads savage 7mm kicks hard... my 30-06 kicks a "little"... my 300 does not kick... I love it for that. I HATE it for the noise though.
