Another thing to keep in mind is barrel twist. I think they both have a 1:9 twist but if you wanted to re-barrel the Savage you could do so easily on your own no smith needed and run a 1:7 or 1:8 twist barrel.
This would allow you to run the 6X and 7X gr .224 bullets very comfortably and stabilize them for better accuracy out to longer ranges.
