i have a rem. 700 bdl in 30-06 and know others that have them and love them like me. they're definately a great gun. i do like the idea of the accutrigger but i got my trigger worked on so it's just as good.

Have you given any thought to buying a used rifle with scope? You could probably find a good rifle with scope for the money you have. By good I mean something alot better than the scope that comes on the Savage. Savage rifles are good but the premounted scopes they come with are hideous.

Ordered a Rem. 700 BDL 30-06 from Wal-Mart for $550 not too long ago. Beautiful and good shooting rifle! IMO - don't disgrace a rifle worth any quality w/ a $50-$100 scope though. I threw on a Leupold VX II 3-9x40 which set me back $275 and I'm very pleased. My next scope will prolly be a Leupold VX III, Nikon, or Zeiss, but of course I have to buy a new rifle for that

If you go with a package deal, toss the scope and get a better one! These scopes are usually cheap Simmons, or other cheap brands! The Simmons Aetec is a really good scope for the money, but the Aetec is not the scope that you'll get in a package!
I think that the cheap-ness of the scopes in package deals really makes these deals less than a "bargain!" What bargain is there when you have to replace part of the package as soon as you get it?
I think that you'd be better served buying a used gun, and get a better model scope put on it!
As for the original question on the two rifles, the Savage is a good gun, the Remington 700 will be a good one too! Personally, I'd get a Winchester Black Shadow!
