I've owned both, and I like the Accu-Trigger better. Which is not to say the Tikka trigger isn't a very nice hunting trigger.

Asthetically, the Remington wins hands down, even against the new Savage Classic series. The Accutrigger is very good and with the turn of a single screw it can be adjusted down to what I consider to be nearly the perfect hunting trigger (2-2.5 lbs, zero perceptible creep and overtravel with a crisp break). The "old" Remington trigger just plain sucked as adjusted from the factory, but the redeeming quality was that it was fully adjustible, and with a small bit of work at home (for the knowledgeable and mechanically inclined), or an inexpensive trip the your gunsmith, it could be made into another excellent trigger. The new Remington X-Mark Pro trigger is acceptable out of the box. Not great, but not pure crap like an M77 lawyer trigger. It has the advantage of already having precision ground and polished sear surfaces, and is user adjustable for pull weight. With a pull weight adjustment, the trigger feels every bit as good as a reworked "old style" Rem trigger, but there is no need for a gunsmith (unless you're a bumbling idiot with hand tools like my brother-in-law [:@]).

As to accuracy, I think that Savage has a good REPUTATION for OOB accuracy, but that is not to say that they are always better than Remingtons. I've owned three M700's (an ADL in .243 Win, a VLS in .22-250 Rem, both with the "old" trigger, and a LSS Limited in .257 Wby with the X-Mark Pro) and a Savage 114 .30-06 with Accu-trigger. I also have a Savage 10ML-II with Accu-trigger. Both Savages shoot better than the ADL ever did with handloads (including the ML), but the LSS Limited and the VLS outshot the Savages all day long. I will also say that, unless TRUE long range hunting is your bag (which I consider anything past 300 yards), all these rifles have (or had) what could be considered better than acceptable accuracy for big game hunting, shooting in the sub-2 MOA range. I'm just more picky about accuracy than what is strictly necessary for a practical big game rifle under normal circumstances.
