The Ruger M77 MKII, excelent quality rifle for the same price as that Remington SPS with a little lower quality. But if you're set on either Remington or Savage I would have to give the nod to Ruger then Remington = - )

Put both the rem and the savage in your hands and see which fits you the best. go with that gun. they will both serve you well.

This spring I was trying choose between the SPS Stainless, Stainless Weatherby Vanguard, Ruger All weather, and Savage Weather Warrior. I ended up with the Stainless SPS in .300wsm topped with a Zeiss 4.5X14 X44mm. Its a great rifle.

I shot three deer with it this fall. Too much gun for deer, but a great rifle none the less. Obviously my recommendation is the SPS

The SPS is one of the best values in a hunting rifle out there. If it fits you, that would be my choice.

SPS for sure between the two, but like mentioned, I would take a good look at the XCR if you don't mind the extra money. I'm assuming you want stainless for the exact reason the XCR was made.

Like mentioned prior handle both and go with the one that fits and feels best to you.

Since you asked our opinion I am with the SPS crowd

ORIGINAL: TxStorm

+1 on the Ruger M77 MkII SS, same caliber also. Mine has the pre-2001 stock (recessed) Weaver 3x9-40. Wouldn't happen to know where I might find another one of those stocks do you? Getting kind rough finding one.
There's one on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/Ruger-77-MKII-Factory-Stock-Synthetic-Skeleton_W0QQitemZ300062067872QQihZ020QQcategoryZ7 3951QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
