It is certainly easy to use that same line of thinking with firearms. -- Unknown

You are absolutely right. However, at the distances most of us kill stuff, it makes no difference whatsoever, and I think the OP would be better off picking the rifle he likes, more so than whatever chambering happens to be stamped on the barrel. You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.

I have re-bedded the rifle after shooting this group and the group now is just under 1/2 inch at 100 yards with the same load .
