Great replies.

I have confidence in the Remington, I nailed a 180lb doe with it at about 125 yards this last season in Kansas. So I'll guess I'll keep it and there are many more options for parts, gunsmiths, etc. if I ever decide to change anything.

I don't want to fire the Browning because it is new and never been fired and it would hurt the sale value.

I'm not attached to the Browning, but I've always heard how accurate their 280's were and I'm unsure if I want to sell it, but I need the cash for my varmint rifle.

I've got a 300 RUM and that fills the need for my large gun.

I don't have much use for a 45-70, it wouldn't offer me any advantages in the places I hunt, when the cover gets that heavy I break out my Benelli SBE or Winchester SX2.
