If I were limited to one rifle for all North American big game hunting, it'd be of recent manufacture comprised of best components. I'd want it to be the product of computer aided manufacturing thus removing human error. It'd be chambered in .280 Rem, '06, .308 Win, or .270 Win.
Having only one rifle means no back-up. Hence, it has to be 100% reliable. It'd have to be extremely accurate.
There are many rifles that would fill my requirements. I'd probably begin with Sako. It advertises MOA with a 5-shot group. I've yet to read negatives about Sako. Montana Rifle Company would deserve a look.
I think that control round feed is more marketing than utility. I know others have differing opinions.
