I'd have to go with the 7mm Rem Mag.
shoots flat as a 270 Win with the bullet weights of the 30-06 or flatter and ammo can be found everywhere if you don't reload.
Recoils no more than an '06 in a rifle of the same weight.
And, I've had all the common 7's from 7-08 thru 280 as well as the 280AI (still have one) and I've killed deer with a 30-06 and carried a 300 Win Mag after elk for 12 seasons,....shot deer with a 270 Win and a 243 Win......I could have done it all with a 7 Rem Mag.
