Default Remington 700 vs Savage 110

Our local Wal-Mart has a Remington Model 700 in a .270 caliber onsale for $300. It's the synthetic stock and a dull finish I guess you'd call it matte finish on the barrel. That's really tempting to me. I want something accurate. Accuracy is the most important think for me. Now I don't know that I need another gun and don't have a extra $300 to waste right now but this seems like a heck of a deal. Is it? I figure if I put a cheap scope on it and rings and stuff I'm looking at at least $450 by then.


Now the other gun they have that caught my attention is a Savage model 110. It has the accu trigger and I know several guys that have Savages that love them. Now this one is in a 30-06. It also has a scope on it but I'm sure it's a cheap crappy scope but I figure it could get my by until I could upgrade. This gun is $377 but it has the scope on it like I said. The other advantage to the 30-06 is my Browning BAR is a 30-06 so I already have several boxes of bullets to use and I could share bullets between the two.

Between these two which is a better deal and which would be more accurate? Or should I just stick with my Browning BAR even though it doesn't shoot as tight of groups as I want? What kind of groups can I expect from either of the above guns.
