Kimber Montana 84L in 270 Winchester. Scope it with a VX3 2.5-8X36 Leupold B&C. Talley LW lows and run bullets from 85 gr to 160 gr.
That would be my vote for the rifle except I'd go with a Leupold 6x36 or 6x42LR in Talleys. 22" barrel/140 Accubonds.

Depending on what caliber bullet
Up to 120 gr bullet:
Ruger M77 Mk II/boat paddle stock in 260 win. topped of with a Ziess 3x9 40.
Simple, accurate and dead nuts reliable.
Over 120 gr bullet:
Ruger M77 Mk II/boat paddle stock in 270 win. topped of with a Ziess 3x9 40.
Also simple, accurate and dead nuts reliable.

Tikka T3 Lite 30-06.
Got one, like it a lot, and it would be the last one to go before heirlooms. This thought train is disturbing me.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

Given the OP's parameters and given I have only one rifle to hunt all of North America under any conditions....Hmmmmm.....FN Extreme Weather in .338Win. with a Leupy 2.5x8 in Talleys and a very good 210gr. to 225gr. bullet.
Men ocassionaly stumble over the truth from time to time but, most pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing happened.

Model 70 Featherweight in 7/08... or rebarreled to 260 Rem...
Glad I don't have to make those decisions tho..

Remington 700 LSS in .280 Rem, topped in Talley LW's and a VX3 3.5-10x40 and an M1 on the elevation.
Frankly, I could be happy with a number of choices. I picked this one, because I don't currently own it but would love to! The .280 is easily enough gun for elk. 7mm bullets are plentiful, have high BC's, and the scope will help you shoot them to whatever range you can handle. The gun is only a smidge over 6.5lbs and won't become an anchor. It's the perfect choice!
