unless i misunderstand, your looking for the following:

accuracy to 500+
abiliaty to hunt varmits
possible use for bear as well

.300winmag sounds right up your alley.
.308 could also do these things, all depends on what your comfortable with,though the .300winmag will have a slight edge over it in most areas of performance.

well is protection against bear, and my pops old 300 works, so I will just bring that with me. the 300 kicks alot more then the 308, but that might simply be the fact that the 308 was heavy barrel and had a longer barrel.
