35 wheelen would be my first pick, though a couple others basically duplicate that round and would all be good options.
375 HH is fairly available which is another consideration as well as having a great background.
The .338 mags all seem like they would do a fine job as well, though with bigger options out there it is getting to the point where I would ask myself why not go bigger?
Then there is the 45-70. A ton of energy, just need to know trajectory very well before heading on a hunt with long shots possible, though I guess that goes for them all to a lessor extent.
Really any of those listed should be at least capable. I have a hard time talking myself into less gun when I start to get into territories where critters bite/claw/stampede back which puts the 35 wheelen(and similar) and the 375 HH high on my list.
