So I'm still having a heck of a time deciding on exactly which rifle I want to purchase, so I have been browsing Black Friday Ads and current ads and have come across the following deals:

-Savage 11 VT $420 after rebates
-Savage Axis $250 after rebates
-Savage 111 Trophy Hunter $420 after rebates
-Ruger American $320
-Remington 700 Varmint $430 after rebates

I am looking at either a .223 or .308 for the caliber. My question is out of those listed, which would you chose and why? The gun will primarily be used for target shooting out to 3-400 yards. Thanks!
