Second vote for the good old .30/06. More than enough power to down ANY game on this continent. For the people who don't load their own ammo, factory ammo available pretty much ANYWHERE in the world with many loaded options. Can be had in almost every platform of rifle made. If you reload, it can make either a scary good varmint rifle with little 95 grain bullets or a Moose gun with 210 grain bullets. And everything in between. Out to 500-600 yards, it will kill anything just as dead as any .300 win mag without breaking your wallet in half with every shot.
