the 10PC is as good as any other Savage in 223. The ones I have handled seem to be pretty well balanced. I see that the Savage site lists the 10PC at 7lbs and the Max-1 at 8.25lbs, but I can't see that the 2" barrel difference would be that much. Either one would be a decent choice. Both should be equally accurate.
Something else to look at might be a Model 25 Walking Varminter which is listed at 6.9lbs. The Model 25s I have handled in the past have always felt nice, and are similar in feel to the Model 40 (now discontinued) which I have chambered in 22 K-Hornet, and mine feels great and is easy to pack around and has a good balance.
Just some things too look at.
