the better barrel "barrel with a 223 Wylde target chamber. Its 5R rifling and a Melonite QPQ finish"

John, not much really. The Savage rifles has traditionally run $150 to $250 more than their Ruger counterparts from day one the Savages were introduced. Th only advantage is the Savage sports a 16-1/8" barrel with a 1:8 twist with 5R rifling for fantastic accuracy.
