I spent weeks researching the same question, before I bought my deer rifle.
My conclusion was that any bolt action built my a major manufacturer (Marlin, Ruger, Mossberg, Remington, Savage, etc), in at least a medium caliber (.270 and up)would be just fine. The market is so competitive that none of them can afford to sell a bad rifle. All of the reviews I read all lead to all of the rifles performing almost exactly the same. There's nothing on the market thats a huge stand out.
I wound up with a Remington Model 700 in 30-06. I kind of wish I had gone with .308 just because there seems to be more options available when it comes to target ammo. Mine also came with a scope, that I did not get a long with very well. So I removed it and upgraded. No point in letting a bad scope ruin a good rifle.
