I'm probably the biggest fan of browning a-bolt/x-bolt rifles here so naturally 1 of those would be THE rifle I reccomend IF when you go to gunstore and compare fit, they fit you well. Also, instead of the .308, a 7mm08 will be more than you'll ever need, while being (usually) extremely accurate and very mild recoiling.

Winchester model 70, extreme weather SS
Remington model 700 XCR
Kimber montana
sako 85 Tikka T3 Lite

I was think some kind of Leupold, probably 3.5x- 10x 40mm
