It all depends what you'll be going after and your tolerance to recoil. Alaska natives take such things as moose and caribou with such things as the 223 Remington and 30/30 Winchester. With the right bullet, a 30/06 would ge good for everything. For more range, go with the 300 Winchester or 300 Weatherby Magnum. If you really want some punch for say grizzley, get a 338 Win. Mag. or a 375 H&H Magnum.
