Of the choices on your list, I would go with the Marlin Model 336.

Now, if I was going to build me a potent short-range, heavy cover hunting rifle, I would probably go with a 16.5" to 20" barreled AR-15 chambered in 450 Bushmaster, or maybe an AR-10 chambered in 45 Raptor. On either one I'd mount a good low power scope or red dot sight.
