Id say a 7mm Mag, is a great over all caliber, and the recoil is very manageable.
I brought this up because its a caliber many overlook but is a great over all round.
The 7mm Mag ammo can be found pretty much anywhere as well. And a basic Rem 700
in that caliber can be had around $400.00 or so.
I had one back in the late 70s, when there wasn't much selection in ammo. I think Remington loaded it with bullets from the 7x57 because they just blew up on deer. I don't care for belted magnums when reloading either. I sold mine and I've been using a .308 ever since.
