i think id shy away from 308 calibers.

i shot rugers compact in 7mm08 and that little thing will put a thumpn on you.

if i was in your shoes id get a 243 257 6mm 7mm08 260 2506, in rifles weigh bout 7lbs unscoped.

id shy from all 30 cals, 277's 280rem, 3006, and all other magnum calibers out there.

my top choice for the low recoiling do everything rifle would probly be the 257roberts with the 243win following right behind it.

with barrels no less than 22"s

im not sure about the 7mm08, it might recoil a bit more than the others i mentioned but shouldnt be bad in 7lb rifle
