Theres alot of options for what you want. Im partial to the winchester model 70, as I have two of them in stainless, however I swapped the stocks for wood ones. 338, 300, and a few other calibers are great elk rounds. I would look at some of the new winchester alaskan rifles, as well as their all weather, and the browning Xbolts. Zeiss and Leupold get my nod for glass on top. 3-9x, or a 3.5-10x in a 40mm would be great.
