funny you picked 3 out of 4 rifles that had controlled feed....

I was thinking a remington....or a browning....both push feed...btw.

for deer hunting...anything from a .243 Win. toa .300 WSM would work.

If you're strongly considering a .308.....consider a 7mm-08.

.270 Win, .270 WSM, .30-06 are some other good options.

.257 Wby. is now chambered by Remington as well.... and in their CDL SF I think, sweet rifle.
