The 700 Remington hasn't even made an appearance yet!
Winchester 70 is running away with this. It goes to show what knowledgable shooters trust. Or, Rem 700 owners are smart enough not to participate in silly threads such as this. Because we all know it's "silly" to pick which rifle gives you the most confidence in a firearms forum. SMH

It wasn't happenstance that Rem added a 0.  Or that Ruger started with a 7.

Now that you've informed me that is silly, I think my next thread will be a comparison between the 428 and 429 Cobra Jets. And I might toss the 427 side oiler for good measure.

I'm very tempted to say Ruger No. 1, but if limited to only one, it would likely be a model 70 or a finely finished commercial 98 Mauser.

A bunch of love here more Mod 70's but My vote is for the Remington 700, if its good enough for our military snipers its good enough for me.....but I do have love for the model 70's though especially the featherweight model (although far from a featherweight rilfe I consider them exceedingly beautiful) I also love and have owned a pile of Sako rifles but I cant get past the clamp-on scope mounting system, I like Plastikka's and Ruger Hawkeye's, I even like the Weatherby Mark V.....Hell I'm a rifle looney and I know it.....Ha!.........Hb

Don't forget the title of the thread indicated a brand that could measure up to all the cartridge variations. A Kimber Montana is going to be very limited, a Remington or Model 70 will poorly handle the smallest cartridges, and all other brands will fall short in that category as well. I don't know of a single manufacturer that made a wider option of chamberings available with the specific action taylored to the cartridge than Sako.
You can choose any brand your heart desires, you just won't be able to have the choice you could with Sako.
I guess I have to give another vote to Sako...

Only Winchesters I've owned are of the Pre 64 flavor but one of them would be my first choice. Ruger M77 would be second.
Those who must raise their voice to get their point across are generally not intelligent enough to do so in any other way.

Ruger77. Just because the line goes from 22 LR to dangerous game. This and for exactly the same reason.
