I'd pick the Creed or the Swede because 140's at 26 to 2700 fps should have less muzzle blast than the rest, and they don't need a long barrel.
The Creed is probably a better choice as a secondary medium game gun because of the stadardized chamber and brass dimensions, inexpensive and high quality ammo, and more efficient and shorter case design making better use of and giving a longer bore in any barrel length.
But the Swede is knda cooler and it's larger case offers potential for higher velocity.
I wouldn't rule out the 243, 30-30, or 357.
Or 7-08 if I found a really good deal on a rifle I really liked.
