Default Looking at possible Rifle Choices for ME:)

Hi! I'm pretty new to the whole sport of hunting. In fact I haven't actually shot any animals other than game birds. I'm just here looking for advice on a nice rifle for myself. My current rifle is much too small to be used on any game... Varmit gun!!! It is only a .17 calibre. I am looking to hunt large game, mostly Elk and Moose since I don't really care for deer. I'm a small female and currently I am shooting a 300 win mag but I really don't want to hunt with it. It is way too much gun for what I want to handle. I don't find the recoil too bad until a couple of hours after the fact and I don't think I would be able to handle too many shots from that gun... I looked at a Browning 7mm-08 with a composite stock and it seemed nice. Anythoughts on this issue would be very much appreciated.
