Randy, they are equally well built and either will last a long time with proper maintenance. This choice will boil down to which feels better in your hands. Cheers and stay safe!

I really dont think it makes a difference and they will both be fine in the wet That saying I like springfield firearms

Randy, I'd go with the hellion mostly because I like the looks better. Both are quality dependable rifles, so just comes down to Wich one you like better. Good luck with your choice.
