Anything in 30 caliber or 7mm is probably going to be fine for elk and bear and 400 yards, with the right bullet and load. I'd personally look at my options in .308 (for all-purpose), .300 win mag (for power), and 7mm-08 Remington (for flat trajectory). If somebody called me right now and said they'd pulled an elk tag and needed a rifle, I'd tell them to track down a bolt action .300 Win Mag, probably either a Remington 700 or Savage.
