If a Remington 700 is not a consideration, I would look at the savage fcns. However, I don't think you will go wrong with any of your choices. Also, I heard great things about the Ruger predator accuracy but I also heard the fit n finish was shangod. If that's not a big thing, the predator might be your best bet.
If this is strictly a hunting rifle I would stick with the .308. The creedmore may be a great round but how far will you realistically be shooting with any of those guns.? None of them, except maybe the predator , will benefit from that chambering.
