East or west side? I have shot several deer with mono bullets from my now gone 7 set without issue. I also wouldn't fear using your H&H with a good bullet. I have shot many with .264 and 7 mags again without issue. Pick your pleasure and use a bullet of good construction and you will be more then happy. On the west side with timber I would want a shorter lighter rifle due to thicker terrain, if my plan was to hunt clear cuts and reprod then your first 2 are great
