You said a "do all" rifle. IMO that leaves out all the Marlins 45/70---444---450--30/30--35 Rem. IMO you should look at the Browning in a 30/06 or you could go the used route & find a Savage 99---in 308 caliber. Then get yourself a 3x9 Leupold Vax II scope. Then you'll set for anything from moose to antelope.
