Let's see if I understand this. You bought a 338 RUM, it whupped you, so you put a spring-loaded stock on it. Now you're upset because you want it to be a MOA shooter, too? The 338 RUM is for shooters that are extremely experienced AND very tolerant of heavy recoil. The rifle you already had would be adequate for all the game you mentioned, and it shot well. A 338 WinMag would have been enough of a step up to give you a suitable margin of safety over the 7mm RemMag.
