Remington 760/7600 30-06 with a 3-9 with see through mounts
I've got a nice Zastava M70 Mannlicher in .308. 21" barrel. It's ideal as a brush gun.
For a bush gun hunting moose or bear I would recommend one of the common .30 cal cartridges that the others have listed (I prefer .308). I would lean towards a repeater though, lever or semi-auto.
I also like 30-06 because you can neck the suck out of it and get .270.
I like my .30-06 Remington 742 Woodsmaster Carbine (18.5" barrel)...it may suffer in the longest reach of a longer barreled 30-06....but where I hunt 200 yds is the absolute max shot.
Years ago, I used guns with see-through bases, and regarded the open sights as my primary sighting system, with the scope as something "nice to have" if I had a long shot and lots of time. After a few years I found that I never used the scope, so I just took it off. A little different perspective.
As to the question, I'd recommend a BLR in .308 or (if you reload) .358, or something like the Remington 760, 7600 or 750 in 30-06 or .308 with a carbine length barrel.
