Personally, I would look a bit and find a nice semi custom Remington with McMillan stock and new better tube for about $900-$1000. You could also get a used Kimber for about $1100. If I bought a new bone stock Remington, I would look at their new all stainless Mountain Rifle.
I like Savages but wouldn't own a $900 Savage. I suppose because I just see them as a lower priced gun and likely always will. I would buy a Ruger American before I gave that kind of money for a Savage. Now if you can find a nice Savage like you want for around $500-$600 then that might be a good choice.
