I bought a rifle to do what you are as well except I hunt more white tails. I bought a Savage Bear Hunter in 300wm. With the brake on. very little recoil. I shot 80 rounds through it in one long range session without any recoil issues. I found it to be very accurate as well. I did swap out the bolt knob to a larger one that took maybe 5 minutes to do. I also added a cheek rest to better line up with the scope I chose. I am very happy with my set up and its good from 10 yards to 1000 yards+. There are a lot of good factory loads for a 300wm but I do plan on reloading for mine.
