For a pure varmint/target rifle, I go with the Remington- I bet you can find one in stainless- and have it professionally tuned.
I am a big fan of the Winchester Classic series with "controlled round feeding" but a stainless short action classic is rare. Short or long action, the classics are good rifles, they just need a little love. No, they won't shoot .25 MOA out of the box- these are hunting rifles not target rifles but with work, (ie trigger tune, free float, possible recrown)most can average sub MOA depending on caliber. However, it is unlikely you'll get a classic action to shoot as accurately as a push feed action but we're really splitting hairs...
I feel there are more things to go wrong on the Remington action. Others use this action with no malfunctions whatsoever. You might be tired of Remington actions and need some variety in your cabinet.
Varmint/Target= Remington
Big Game/Other= Winchester
