Any advice would on which to buy would be appreciated.

Both are very accurate, very dependable weapon systems. It all depends on what you're buying the weapon for (comp. shooting, hunting, etc). Buying a rifle with this much potential and putting a Tasco or similar scope on it is basically like buying a Audi R8 and putting 20" spinners on it. Its just not right. But do what you gotta do, you can always upgrade later.
I own a Savage Model 10 with a Leupold Mark 4 LRT and Harris bi-pods, and it has given me the same results as the Rem 700: consistent accuracy at 800m and beyond.
They are almost the same exact rifle, just made by different companies.
