Yep you certainly cant go wrong with a 30-06 as long as you turn it into a 270 or 35Whelen or 8-06 or 375-06 or 40Whelen

I have the very best at both ends, a .30/06 1936 M70, and a Mark 10 Mauser in .375/06IMP.

Years ago, I was the same, Art, .375H&H, .358 Norma, equivelence to the .458 Winchester Mag., .300 mag, 7mm mag, .264 Mag(s)., now I'm quite happy with the .260 Rem, 6.5x55 to add variety, .30/06, .375/06IMP.
I also have .45/70's and .50/95 Winchesters, just for fun, along with muzzleloaders from .36 to .69.

I guess its true.. "With age comes wisdom"..

its nice to use classic cartridges.. I still like to try out the new ones as well..probably always will.. but, and I cant believe I am saying this.. actually used a 270 for a bit this season.. Now I know why its considered a good woman's caliber.. Man, no recoil ..

In all seriousness, they are all good.. whatever works for you and makes you happy should be what you use... impossible for me to care any less about what others use .. just enjoy..
