Default New Gun - What should I get?

Ok, here's the deal. Kinda shopping for a new gun. Already have a .22-250 for shooting whitetails. Am now looking for a "Big Game" gun. This rifle would primarily be used for big muleys and elk. Other possibilities are sheep and mountain goats. So the rifle would need to be relatively lightweight but durable. Calibers I am looking at are some of the short mags - .300 WSM, 7mm WSM maybe a plain old 7mm too. Does anyone have any experience with any or all of these calibers and can anyone recommend a good rifle/caliber combo that would fit this description? Looking for bolt-action only - no semi-auto. Would not be opposd to a good single shot either I guess.

Thanks for any help in this matter.
