The Browning was ruled out for the offset shaped grip

The howa for the weight and stock thickness

Now we are down to 2 the Remington and the tikka.

Eyes closed to shooting position and open eye once there. Did this a half dozen times on each my eye was slightly left of the centre each time but worse on the Remington. The Remington was also slightly shorter.

So we arrived at the Tikka.

After looking through a few scopes at $750-$950 rang the luepold V3 just had a very clear colour sharpness to it.

That there is the process of how I chose my 1st rifle. Thanks for everyone's opinion knowledge and advice

Well done jrm234 you have made a great choice on your first rifle. And good to know some shops have staff with the knowledge to steer new shooters in the right direction.
Now just get out and use it as much as you can to get used to it.
