Ed, the Remington will cost you $150-$200. more than the Savage. The Remington has more aftermarkets products that will bolt on, has a better trigger (adjustable), a better stock, and it also seems to be more popular, thus a better resale value. Accuracy wise their very comparable. Looks wise, the Remington gets my vote. If your on a tight budget go with the Savage and put the extra $200. in the scope. If you got the money, you can't beat the Remington.
