If it's for deer I would go with the 243win. Much less recoil than the 7mm08 and just as deadly on deer. Lots more factory ammo choices in every store.
If hunting bigger meat than deer, the 7mm08 is the better choice obviously.

I don't think Savage offers Stainless barreled actions in wood stocks.

The Lightweight hunter is a good rifle but the Lady Hunter might be a better choice for a "Lady".

My experience with the Weatherby Vanguard is that they're accurate.
