Personally, I would get the Savage. Some people don't like the Accutrigger, but I think most of those guys have great triggers on their guns that don't have the lawyer bar on them. But, for most of us, the accutrigger is fantastic.

I have a 243 Savage with the Simmons 3-9 and the scope really is not bad. I bought a Simmons scope at Walmart that was the same model only 4-12. That thing is JUNK. Eye relief and parallax are horrible and I consider it absolutely useless.

I am not sure, but I think the scope on the Remington is probably a Bushnell.

I think it is all in your preference. They are both very good guns, especially for the money. I doubt there will be any difference in the accuracy. I would take the Accutrigger and the extra $100 any day of the week. You can take that $100 and stick it in your piggy bank to start saving up for a good scope, or just buy some ammo.
