.264/6.5 bullet BC is hard to beat and have lots of chamberings to choose from. Excellent recommendations thus far.
IIWY, I'd go with the 6.5x55 Swede and load it with 140gr Berger VLD or 160gr Matrix VLD. It has been around longer than the venerable .30-06 and still going strong.
Or AI it and make it sexier for the wife >>> http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f19/6-5x55-6-5x55-ai-90339/index2.html
Good luck and happy safe hunting/shooting!
