Given what you have offered up I would go with the bolt gun308 with Barnes TSX bullets or Nosler Partitions(really prefer a 30-06 but that wasn't mentioned). Welcome back.

Madmax - you won't regret your decision on the .300 WSM. I bought one two years ago for an Elk / Mule Deer hunt. I already had a .30-06 but wanted the addition reach if needed. I looked at the all the .30 magnums and landed on the .300 WSM. Federal and Winchester loads are slightly ballistically superior to the .300 win mag and the .300 WSM has slightly less recoil.
