All three rifles are great rifles without argument. What you need to look at is the kind of projectiles you want to hunt with an what you're looking for in the rifle.

The Savage without doubt from all my reading are excellent quality rifles. There are some nice ones out there used for sale right now also. The Savage will do all you need it to do. Randy Wakeman, who responded to your post is the one of the peopleto talk to for any and all questions about a Savage.

Thompson Center Pro Hunter is the new Encore twin so to say. So far from all the people who have purchased one, they are very pleased with the over all accuracy, and the way the rifle functions. Also you have Thompson Center's customer service to back you should there be a problem. Personally I do not like the stock design of the Encore and would go with the Omega since I have no desire to switch out barrels. Then again, if I shot a Encore or Pro Hunter I would probably change that statement also. The Omega is a great choice in a hunting rifle by the way.

The White rifle is a great rifle. They will shoot both conicals and sabots very well. BUT as stated, White Rifle Company is a thing of the past from all I hear. They are a great shooting rifle and I think one of them would last you for a life time, but should you need work on it, you may be hard pressed to find that. Although there are a number of dedicated White Rifle owners out there that still support White rifle and would sure try to help you out should you need any thing. I own a White Ultra Mag and love the rifle. There is no way I would ever sell my White.

Iown Thompson Centers, White, Knights, and CVA inline rifles. All of them are good shooters. But in your case if it were me, I would look at the Pro Hunter and then later buy myselfa White or Savage to compliment my collection and give me more toys to play with. But for the one rifle, stick to the Pro Hunter or the Savage if smokeless shooting is really something you want to get into..
