Its just the rough look of the rifle. Ive never found one that wont work well for hunting but i like to have a littel nicer looking gun. I wouldnt say its safe to say they are more accurate but they are accurate rifles. Ive seen some Remingtons that can out shoot my lil bros Savage. I dont know waht button rifling is but im sure someone on here can tell you what that is. As for Free Floating the barrel means that the barrel dose not make contact with the stock which usually makes for more accuracy because when the barrel get warm it dosnt have any pressure from the stock changing the POI. There is nothing wrong with the way a Savage shoots at all. I just like a little nicer looking rifle.
