Default Comparison of rifles?

I wanted to get a little feedback. I just joined a new club and they have an excellent rifle range setup (vs my old club which was almost non-existent) so I’m thinking about getting another rifle (I already have a nice 7mm Mag that can be used for about anything in NA & SA except big bears) for shooting at the club that won’t break the bank or my shoulder. It may also end up being used for some local deer hunting by myself or my son. I have been looking around and picked out the following that have wood stocks - because I like the feel:

Weatherby Vanguard Sporter in 7mm-08 because of the price and I like the 24” barrel.

CZUSA 550 American in 6.5x55 SE. Price seems reasonable for a Mauser action and I have a CZ Woodcock shotgun and like it.

Savage Model 14 American Classic in 7mm-08 because I read a lot of good things about their accuracy and they look good.

I might also go and look around at a few used guns before I buy but I wanted to find out who has had experience with more than one of these and can give me some comparison information – more so than me just holding the gun and working the action, which I have done on each of these?

One last thing, I may get into reloading for the rifle, as I reload shot shells, but haven’t made that decision as of yet.

Thanks,
