You can't go wrong with either...I have a Tikka T3 Stainless Lite in 270 WSM and have several new Savages...a Model 11 in 7mm-08, a Model 10 (FLCP-K) in .308 and a Model 93 in 17 HMR...all 3 have the accu-trigger and all three shoot very well and handle nicely.

The Tikka is my primary whitetail rifle and it is a tack driver. The trigger breaks like glass (is easily adjustable), the bolt is butter smooth and it just handles very nicely. Detachable mag is also a plus.

All of the Savages also have detachable mags, adjustable triggers (accu-trigger), shoot very well and handle well...but the bolt's on the Savages do not compare to the Tikka...that's the only real advantage I see between them.
