Default 300 Win Mag, too much for whitetails?

I have been contemplating buying a new rifle for next year's hunt. I currently have a Remington 7400 (semi), I would like more accuracy with a bolt action. I have a brand new in the box Browning A-Bolt 300 Win mag that I have yet to fire. I am wondering if I should buy a new gun and scope, or if I should just put a top of the line scope on my A-Bolt. I am currently looking at the Leupold LPS 3.5X14X50mm. I am able to shoot up to 265 yards from my stand. Therefore, I want something that shoots flat and accurate. Therefore in your opinion, is the 300 Win too much for whitetails? I should also add that I am a strict QDM hunter therefore if I am shooting at a buck, I want it to drop immiedately or shortly there after because it will be a wall hanger, if it's a doe, I will only take shots that won't damage much of the tasty venison. I appreciate your input.
