I suggest you try them both for fit and feel. As for quality and accuracy - both rifles will (or should) be accurate and reliable. The Accutrigger on the Savage is sweet, but the Tikka T3 trigger is also very very nice. Cycling the action is an entirely different story though. The Tikka action is super slick. The first time I took mine to the range I didn't think I picked up a round from the in-line magazine.
