The T/C Venture and Howa 1500/Weatherby Vanguard should be added to your list as well. The T/C has had recall issues but that seems to be all cleared up now.

The Howa/Vanguard is a time-tested durable and accurate design that is roughly in the same price range as the rest of the rifles mentioned by the OP.

This "budget rifle" horse has been beat to death but to be honest I think they are all decent rifles for the money.
