Game will be Mule Deer, Elk, Coyote to name a few. We have mountain lions and bears up here as well.

Thanks in advance,

Win 70 high grade in 300 win mag with a swaro z6 scope. About 3500$ total, you did say no budget so thats what i would buy

Don't have a real budget -
so i will spend what i need to in order to get what i need.

You don't need anything so big, even for elk. I think a 7mm/08 would be ideal. As far as rifle, take your pick.
