While Browning makes some nice rifles, there are very few aftermarket accessories/custom part for them. Also, there are not many gunsmiths that do a lot of work with Brownings. The most popular action is the Remington 700. There are more custom accessories for them than any other. Also, every gunsmith works on 700s.

Long way to say that one of your considerations should be adaptability in the future. Savage and Remington are the best options.

As for the cartridges you listed, I would not deviate from anything that J E Custom says. Choose 300win mag.

what kind of finish should I get stainless steel, matte, or blued?

Personally, I prefer stainless steel then finish it with duracoat or cerakote. Are you going with factory barrel or custom barrel? Virtually all custom barrels are stainless steel.

I will start with a factory barrel for now.

Browning rifles work just fine. It's a matter of personal taste and your pocket book when it comes to buying a rifle. All of the name brand rifles work well. Pick one that you feel will serve you the best over a long period of time. One thing to consider is the resale value of lesser known or currently unpopular brands will be considerable less if you decide to sell or trade.

I have a browning 300 wm, weatherby vangard 257 wthby, anda tikka 22-250 all shoot 1/2" orless with reloads. Pick a gun that feels good and load it to shoot good. Don't have a savage yet but bear they are accurate also. Good luck
