If I had to start all over again right now buying current production rifles.
I would choose Kimber. They have everything you would need from an 204 in 84M to an 8400 Caprivi, pretty to plastic, with everything in between.
Montana rifles would be second.
If I had to do it not buying current production rifles. I would be buying Model 70 classics or pre 64's.

Some of the rifles I sold they don't make anymore. There is always a rise or decline in most manufacturers product. Kimber, Remington, Winchester, etc.... Have always gone through changes and goods and bads. I haven't purchased a rifle in over 4 years, so I'm trying to get opinions from the board on who is making a good product right NOW, for the money.... It's not about cartridge or caliber overlaps, it's about the rifle itself. Thanks. You're buying all and only new? Something isn't adding up here..
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

Sako, in .280 Rem if it were available. That way you wouldn't need another rifle. Otherwise, .308 Win/'06, .270 Win, or 7MM Rem Magnum. The 7MM Rem Mag is the world's most popular magnum for an excellent reason.
I've read excellent stuff about Montana Rifle Company. And I'm sure there are many other excellent rifle manufacturers.

As others have stated, my first choice would be Model 70 Classics as well. The Nosler rifles are shooters, very accurate and seem well built. Kimbers are great, but light weight seems to be their their biggest advantage. For no fuss accuracy, right out of the box at a favorable price, Tikka. Buying that many, no way I would limit myself to one brand.
Don't speculate when you don't know, and don't second guess when you do.

I will second BSA's suggestion. Low numbered 5 digit Winchester Model 70 Classic' I would consider that a great way to start building back up. This is what I mostly have in my stable. Some were used as the basis for a custom version. Latest one heading my way is a G10xxx in 270 Winchester. Of course I realized I just lost half the audience by mentioning that caliber. It was all good until we found out you are gay....  
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA
