RE: savage or NEF/HR
I'd get the savage personally. They're extremely accurate guns, not very pretty, but neither are the NEF. The scope probably won't be worth a flip...most package scopes aren't. There's nothing wrong with the NEF, besides possibly rate of fire. I haven't had much luck beyond 250yds with them, though. Depends a lot on the caliber I guess.

RE: savage or NEF/HR
There is a lot to be said for the Savage but the NEF/HR are not bad themselves. If on a budget I would get the NEF and spend the $150 diff. on a reasonably good scope. The scope that comes with the Savage package is junk, you would be paying $350 + scope for the package deal.
