Hello Mrs.B. Nice to meet you.Without knowing the type of terrain you'll be hunting it's hard to make recommendations for a rifle. If you'll be hiking an area like Hells Canyon, weight will be a major consideration.
Here's an idea you might consider. How about a Savage bolt action rifle and 2 barrels, one in 7mm-08 or .308 and another barrel in .243. The barrels are very easy and quick to change and you would be able to hunt anything from varmints to moose. Good luck.
