Well, my one gun for everything has been my Krieghoff Semper, and i've harvested everything from big moose and big blk. bear on down with it,hunting all over Alaska and the lower 48 states with it...

Even beyond 200 yards i'd have no problem harvesting even the biggest elk with the 8x57jrs bbl loaded with 200 Nosler partitions... They have worked perfectly for me for more than 20 years now for all of my big game hunting, including on this whitetail, and many other i've harvested at 200 plus yards..

For a "cheaper" hunting combo gun, buy a Valmet 412... They shoot excelent and are very reliable... It's another gun i've hunted all over Alaska with, in all kinds of conditions...

They are very accurate and can be regulated to shoot any ammo you wish to use in it... They have a great detachable scope mount too. Check out this test i did with mine taking the scope off and reinstalling between every shot...

I've had mine for more than 25 years, and it's been totally reliable!
