it depends on what you are looking for? wood/stainless/synthetic weight and caliber. This can alter a few choices And most important what fits you, and blows a bit of wind up your skirt when you shoulder it. Of all those you have listed, I have shouldered all of them, shot a few and bought a Sako. Weatherby ultralite was 2nd. On paper, (brochures) I liked HS, but it did not fit me. Spent alot of time with Christensen, but I grew up near where there built. Just spent a couple days at the conservation expo in Salt Lake, Ut and I am convinced I made the right decision. My dream rifle: Sako 85 in 300WSM, Christensen Carbon barrel, MacMillan stock (Sako 75 geometry) with a blind magazine!
