I would choose the Savage. They are not a good looker but they havea great factorytrigger. My savage did foul copper bad, but shot 1 1/2" groups with factory ammo which was OK. I decided to try the Tubbs Final Finish system and it now shoots MOA consistently, does not foul and is a dream to clean. Fit and finish is not the best but it is solid and reliable.
The threaded barrel allows barrel replacement without a gunsmith and the action eliminates the need forgunsmithing if you choose build a custom rifle down the road. You can actually buy a Match Grade Shilen for approx $260 and install it without a gunsmith.
