Or if your on a tighter budget, $7500 Kreighoff Trumpf Drilling .243 over 20 Gauge S/S http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/content/community/gun_inventory/inventory/ft_worth/krieghoff/367109_ker_fw.jsp

For those of you who like the 30-06, here's another Krieghoff drilling that also weights in right at 7 pounds. It also has among other things, aninsert bbl., set trigger, and has a Zeiss scope in detach claw mounts...

For North America I would say...

.243 Winchester

.308 Winchester

.338 Winchester Magnum

You could have three rifles that would do it all from groundhogs to grizzlies with great efficiency!

S&W .460, great for deer, bear, coyote, etc, up to 200 yd. Plus you can shoot
mulitible calibers through it.
