The Sako will be more refined than the Sabvage. However, I doubt that it will be more accurate. I would purchase the Savage. I would definitely buy a new model that comes with the accutrigger. I would use the money you save and invest in the highest quality optics you can afford. I like Leupold VX-III, Bushnell Elite 4200, Burris Signature Series, Zeiss, & Swarovski. There are others, but if you choose one of the above I think you will be very pleased.
