Default Tikka t3 vs. browning abolt hunter.

I am looking for 2 new rifles, and have already decided that one will be a sako.

The other one I am still looking for, but want to stay within the abolt/tikka price range.

I also am choosing between these 3 calibers, .308 (for sure am getting a .308)

and then either a 300 wsm or a .338

So the combinations could be a sako in either .308, 300wsm, or 338

or tikka/abolt or whatever other cheaper gun i go with in the .308, 300, and 338.

Now, i already have a tikka in 7mm, and love it to death. But am really liking the action and the quality looking wood on the brownings. also, i am a little cautious about the brownings accuracy, as i have generally heard the tikka is a little better in that category.

What would you all pick for the cheaper rifle, and what caliber would you put to which rifle?

Just looking for suggestions, and am really trying to think through it.

I figure i would rather have the nicest rifle possible for shooting the longer distances, becuase that is where the accuracy would matter most. So right now I'm leaning towards the sako in either the 300 or the 338, and the browning or tikka in the .308.
