I take my Ruger 77 bull barreled 223 a lot. Fun and cheap to shoot. Love making small groups. Nrxt is my 77 re-barrelled into a 6mm Remington.

But, next trip I am going to be taking a Ruger 77 I just picked up in 300 WM. I got it used for $400 wearing a decent looking off brand scope. Going to stick its scope on a Mohawk 600 in 6MM and stick a 3x9 Leopold on the 300 and dial both of them in. Mohawks are great little guns, I have another in 308, but wife scope eyed herself with it shooting her first deer. The 6mm will drop the recoil and get her over it.

If the little girls, 10 and 11 go along 22 rifle and pistol go for them.
