Here's the brands I have, in no particular order...
Sako, Desert Tech, Marlin, Henry, PWS, Steyr, McMillan, Weatherby, Akkar, Barrett and Mossburg I think covers them all. No Tikka or Howa, not because they are not a good rifle but because they won't on the shelf when I went shopping. Although there's a very nice little Tikka on the agenda shortly... Rifles are a bit like cars, every one has different likes, requirements and budgets and just because a certain brand is cheaper doesn't make it any less accurate. The most accurate rifle I've ever owned was a Russian Vostok single shot 22LR that consistently grouped 1/4" @ 50m and only cost me $99 brand new. My >$10,000 Steyr can't match that accuracy.
Don't pay too much attention to brandnames, choose something that's a good fit for you, that's comfortable to shoot then worry about the badge.
How's my posting?
