I feel that all would make fine choices. I have a 30-06 in a remington 700 bdl and it's extremly accurate. I've shot a 30-06 in a browning and would be reluctant to buy one because of the recoil, the browning is quite a bit lighter. I have no experince with a ruger. Possibly somebody else could point out the goods and bads of the ruger for you.
