You have them all covered. Perhaps 243.

Exactly my setup! But instead of 22lr, I went with 17hmr.

The Ruger cycles as well as the Tikka and are all very accurate. The Rugers are amazing value for money at under $800.00. You can buy the ADI bulk ammo in 300BLK as well for less than $1.00 a shot if you don't reload. Their bulk ammo in 223 or 300BLK is excellent.
The 300 would be better for the range of game you wish to hunt although frankly the 223 would be more than effective at closer ranges. The Ruger American Ranch comes with picatinny scope rail. You can outfit the Ranch rifles with a good scope for well under your $1500.00 budget.
