Best overall rifle for guys over 70

I have a 300 WM that I had made over 30 years ago with a thin Hart Barrel and McMillan stock. That is my elk rifle and I've killed my biggest whitetail with it too. It's light enough. No changes planned. For hunting deer back east, I've switched from my '06 to a 5 lb 7-08 that is really just a Model 7 with a 12 oz fiberglass stock. It has a 20" barrel and is an easy carry when walking around the Appalachian mountains. I could use it for elk, but I would have to switch out the 1.5x5 Leupold I have on it.
