Depends on whether you handload or not and also if you care about accuracy. I know the Tikka comes with a 1 MOA accuracy guarentee. I doubt the Savage does. If you handload you MIGHT be able to get the Savage to shoot as well as the Tikka but if you want a rifle that will shoot that well out of the box guarenteed, want a smooth-as-silk action, and a trigger that is as good as any I've tried you will be happy with the Tikka. That's why I bought mine.





Here's a 5 shot group with Partitions. First shot was fouling shot.
