Default Bear, Elk, Whitetail Rifle????

I'm in the process of trying to decide on what caliber to buy for a big game rifle. I have asperations of using it on elk and bear mainly, but possibly on whitetails as well. I've always prefered a short action. I like the options available for a 30-06, but I'm liking the 7mm Rem mag too. Since I'm more interested in a short action, I've thought about the 7 & 300 WSM as well as the 308 and 7mm-08. I think the 7mm-08 is a little light for elk though. I've also considered the 280 rem. I have no idea why I've always liked the short actions better. Any educated guidance on this would be appreciated! Thanks!
