Whichever one fits you the best. Some don't like the accutrigger on the Savage. Others, like me, think it's pretty near one of the best FACTORY triggers on the market. And I'm a trigger snob! I love Ruger handguns, own several. But I have YET to ever run across a Ruger rifle with a good feeling trigger with the exception of the #1's and those are borderline. So really it now boils down to what your preferences are in the feel and function of either one. Value wise they are around equal with the Nod going a little bit towards Savage because of the aftermarket availability to better the rifle on down the line.
