I've long been a fan of the .375 H&H ... my first big rifle was a Winchester 70, serial number 6xx (yes, in the six hundreds) in .375. It came to me via Alaska. Stuck with non-bonded cup-n-core bullets of those times, I'd still recommend it. Today, an '06 or possibly .300 WSM in a rifle that fed smoothly, with good bullets, would seemingly do pretty well. We seem to pick rifles and cartridges based on 2% of what we might someday do instead of 98% of what we really do right now.
Thinking of posts above, I've considered a Kimber Mountain Ascent in either .308 or '06 with a fixed 4x aboard for anything I don't want to hunt with a .257 Roberts. Oregon isn't Alaska though, so I won't pretend expertise, just share semi random thoughts.
