Free: Contests & Raffles.
As much as I like my remmy's Id stay away from the 770. They cut alot of corners on that design to compete with other makers enconmy models. The Savage has a great deal or options that are already included with the rifle. Owner adjustable trigger, pillar bedded, free floated etc. I would also agree with the reccomendation on the Howa, and add that the Stevens offer all that the Savage do except the Accutrigger. Hope this helps you out. Sage
Look at Howa's and tikka too. but out of the two you said I would go with the savage
I'd go with a 7mm-o8, very fast, you can shoot lite gr. bullets and up to bear and elk size game bullets.
