I suggest you try them all for fit and feel. Also consider the functions. I personally do not care for the 3 position safeties on the Winchesters or Rugers. I do like the rifles though. I do like the tang safeties on the the Brownings and Savages. Now that being said, I have never owned a Model 70 only because I am a lefty. (Never got a chance to own one of their left hand bolts when they cam out). I do/did own Ruger 77s, Savage 116 (the long action version of the 16) and Browning A bolts. And to get them to my satisfaction, I had trigger jobs done on the Rugers and the Brownings. And bedding on one Ruger and one Browning. The Savage (several in fact) shot terriffic right out of the box. But it all boils down to the first statement. Get the one that feels the best in your hands.
