Everybody who hunts deer has their own opinion of what is the best caliber and rifle for doing so. The fact is there are literally hundreds or more rifle/caliber combinations that are adequate for hunting deer. I have hunted with bolt-actions, pump-actions, and lever-actions in more calibers than I could name from .243 Win. to .30-'06 Springfield. All of them did the job except for a lever action in .30-30, but I never got a shot at a deer with that one.

Here's what I think, 7mm-08 is a great beginners cartridge. It is really similar to a .243 (they are both necked down .308 cartridges) but can shoot heavier bullets without much more recoil. The .243 while a good accurate round uses lighter bullets than I want to use, but it can do the job. Any of the rifles you mention would be an excellent hunting rifle for deer as would the Winchester model 70. There are others that are great too. Look over all of the guns, check out the options that are available, and decide what you would be the most comfortable using. The best choice is whatever you are confident and comfortable shooting. Also consider the safety position and type, as they vary and you want to be able to operate quickly without having to look at it.
