It's hard not to recommend the old '06 for general North America hunting.
270, 7mm'08, and similar calibers could be used for elk or moose, but if I wanted a dedicated elk rifle, I'd go either '06 or 35 Whelen.
308 is also a good choice. It's basically a short action '06 with just slightly less range.
Eta: 7 rem mag is not really a big upgrade over the '06 to me.
It's a lot of boom and higher priced ammo for a little more range.
