Default Which to buy?

Ok everyone, I am kinda in a pickle here and need some information. I am gonna be buying a new rifle in a couple of weeks and I have still to decide which. I know little of the specifics and/or reputation of either of the rifles as I have never shot or owned either. I will tell what I do know of each rifle and would very much appreciate any info I can get from you all.

1) Savage Model 10FP .308 rifle
The heavy precision barrel features a recessed target-style crown
Heavy Free-floating and button-rifled 24" barrel
Synthetic stock with positive checkering, dual pillar bedding
Four round internal box magazine

2) Howa M1500 Varmint .308 rifle
For heavy barrel precision hunting and pest control
5+1 in Chamber (drop mag) [a real plus for what I want]
24" barrel and synthetic stock
1-12" twist

I know that you can kinda see what I am looking for. Durability and accuracy at long ranges. Now which of these rifles do you think will do me the best job? Price is no problem as I will pay the same price for either rifle. Even if you can just point me to a place where I might gather more info on one or both, that would be awesome. I want to know as much as I can before making this purchase. Thanx for your help!
