[QUOTE="grit, post: 619878, member: 4112"] Any bolt action. I'd pick one with a solid stock and a nice trigger. The Tikkas are great out of the box. For accurate factory ammo the 308 wins hands down. Endless barrel life. I would pick a 6.5 mm for the light recoil, flat trajectory, and awesome terminal performance. I believe the Tikka comes in 6.5x55. This might be easier to find than the 260 over there. A 7-08 would be next. If these don't offer enough punch, the 270 is superb. Moderate recoil, flat trajectory, lots of factory ammo, and enough terminal performance for everything on your list. Speaking strictly factory ammo, the 25-06 does offer some advantage over the 243. For scopes, the vx3, Bushnell elites, or Vortec PST's. Several good choices [/QUOTE]
