Welcome aboard! I have the howa in a mini 6.5 grendel, but didn't like its 20" barrel so went for a re-barrel from preferred barrels, really like this combo.
I've looked at the savages a lot b/c I like them in general, have several, but for the 6Arc personally I went for the uintah bolt action upper, it mounts on an Ar15 lower, is a true bolt action and is 22" barrel, really shoots nicely. Probably my favorite in 6Arc, weight about 9 lbs but I have a luth AR mba stock on it and 6-24 vortex pst.
It's a bit over your $1K limit but well worth it, uintah precision if I recall, based in Utah.
My second choice I guess would be the 110-based savage, mostly because the barrel is probably a bit better than the axis... and stock is a bit more usable than the axis...
Howa's aren't bad either. For the Arc I do like as much barrel length as I can afford, the uintah is 22".
edit to add: barrel, trigger, optics, the best three as far as where to put your money...
