Sir,
Came here first and I did the searched for 'savage 10fp' and came up empty. So then I browsed the web and most every forum was more argumentative Rem 700 vs. Savage than informative. What I did pick up was the possibility that the factory Savage stock might be less than desirable and some don't like the accutrigger. One poster mentioned you don't buy a Savage for the stock, you buy it for the barrell and action.
So I came back here, posted what I was looking at and it sounds like the Rem 700 and the Savage 10FP are pretty comparible.
I know what you and most everybody thinks of the SS Scope, good value for the money, but lacking. It is why I haven't bought one. But if it comes with the package I can pawn it off for $250 to $350 and I am a third of the way to getting a Mark V. Or I might have to spend it on another stock if I don't like the B&C that comes with the Savage.
All in all it sounds like I can't go wrong with either rifle.
