As for "looks", the Remington beats the Savage. For accuracy, I'm hearing that Remington basic models are not performing as well as we used to expect from them. I've had some pretty rough new Savages lately but I haven't shot a new Remington for many years.
I'd prefer a lightly used 20-30 year old Remington 700 over either new model but you're unlikely to find one with a factory 26" barrel. I think Savage made a 26" .308 within the last few years but it was a heavy barrel.
