To me it would depend on what I was gunning for and where.
I have a SS M-70 Classic (NH) in .375 H&H, an AHR CZ 9.3x62 and an Alpha Arms Alaskan .338-284.
The M-70 is a rugged gun with synthetic stock. It wears a Zeiss Victory 1.5-6 in Talley QD's and has NECG irons. To me it's a solid using gun and isn't uncomfortable to shoot. The AHR is a fancy gun but is heavier than the M-70. The Alpha Arms is a good shooter, but isn't my favorite.
To go Nilgai hunting, etc, I'd pick up the .375 and not look back. Lots of options regarding loads and a near fool proof delivery system. I wouldn't worry about scratching it up on S. TX sticky brush. It would be a good choice for wet climates like AK. Just an all around gun.
IMHO,
DF
