A 270 could very well keep the 7mm mag sitting most of the time, with deer and moose at moderate ranges.
But I like the .308 or 7-08 too.

270 is pretty much a 7 mag
243 if your looking for just a deer rifle. They don’t go far hit with a 243
A 6.5 prc with 140 berger vld would be a top tier choice and going the other way a 300 prc with 212 eldx or 215 berger would be absolutely deadly I own both and have taken elk and moose with both.
I love my 7-08 but 9 times out of 10 I grab a 6.5 Creedmoor. I’d go 6.5 cm, 308 or 243 for ammo availability and price.
custom barrelled 303 british? mighty fine cart. classic!! moosin

First thought was 7-08 since you're a fan of the .284 caliber, but you did say you were looking for a new caliber soooo I think you'd do very well with a .308. Ammo is inexpensive relative of course to everything else, and easy to find. I've seen a number of moose taken within 200 yards and they didn't go far at all with well placed SST's.
6.5 PRC. Lots of projectiles and factory ammo available, being a Hornady caliber. Designed for todays high BC bullets, fast and flat with manageable recoil
