If I were on expensive hunts like moose, caribou or sheep, I would bargain with the wife, or yourself for whatever reason you need to up the budget for a Zeiss Conquest 2-10x42 HD scope and use Warne rings. I could get by with a good used second hand 30-06, something like a push feed M70 or Vanguard would probably be cheaper than a new Tikka. I would be too sick with worry to not include a range finder.
