Default savage vs vanguard advice needed

Well long story I need a new deer rifle(I say need because I had to sell my only center-fire rifle, a custom Winchester model 70 a year 1.5 years ago to help finish paying for my youngest sons adoption fees) so now that i have everything paid off and a chunk saved up for a rifle/scope combo, I have come to realize there ain't no way in heck I will be equaling my model 70 in terms of shilen barrel, stock, and timney trigger, and Leopold scope, and yet meet my $1,100 budget, so after shooting my dad's savage 243 and liking it, and reading a little on the web i have come down to either a savage 116 in accu-stock, in 270 wsm, or a vanguard in same caliber. however since no shops near me even let you shoot a rifle before you buy, i need some expertise on ya'lls dealing with these two rifles, (I'm looking for honest groups with factory ammo, I don't as yet have time to reload, new child remember) any honest insight would be appreciated.

p.s. I gotta buy soon so I can get some practice time before this fall.
