Glad you like Savages

Id keep one if it was given to me...
But this thread is between the Tikka and the Remmy 700SPS...
Help me out peeps!! LOL! I can save $400 by getting the Remmy! But...I think I would prefer the Tikka...
What caliber is gonna be better for me? .204 ruger or .223 rem.
Gophers to 500 yards or so, and coyotes under 200??
HELP!! LOL! Im so undecided!!
