I had the same "problem".
I ended up with the Tikka T3 Lite Stainless.
Very light i.e. nasty recoil but if you carry the rifle a lot then it's perfect.
Check if they import the laminated version to Australia. It's a tad heavier so it'll be better to shoot (and it's much better balanced) but still quite weather-resistant and light to carry.
The plastick stock of the Tikka is incrdibly noisy. It must be hollow as anything that hits it (e.g. the sling) makes a loud noise.

Other alternatives - the Browning. The A-Bolt is being discontinued in favor of the X-Bolt so you may get good deals. I have three friends that have the A-Bolt and they're plenty pleased. We often hunt in poor conditions as autumn means rain and/or snowslash.
The X-Bolt seems a better and smarter gun but I have yet to actually shoot one.

The Sauer has a grand reputation, indeed. You will not go wrong with one I believe.
Try to shoot one before you buy to see how you like it.
