Thank you to ALL of you, as I am the one who posed the original question.
Fariswm has done a great job compiling all the responses; so a special thank you to him.
You have ALL been instrumental in helping me make MY best decision.

Here is what I ended up with;

204 Savage 16 FCSS
243 Remington 700 SPS DM
7MM Mag. Sako A7 Stainless

Note: If I ever get to Alaska, believe me; I will be carrying a 338 Win. Mag.

I appreciate each and every response, and I believe they all have merit.
