Since I also live in Ontario, I want a gun that can handle black bear, moose and deer. A 30-06 is just fine for these animals but if you've got the cash to burn on a new rifle and scope, a Remington 700 in .300 Win. Mag. or WSM or one of the various 7mm magnums topped with a Leupold VX-III would be an excellent combo that would take down any of the animals mentioned.
