RE: new gun for fiance
Up to her, but I prefer the 30-06.
But, if you've already got both, why not get her a 243? If you're going to be her husband, I'm sure you guys can share, and you add a new caliberfor your hunting needs. 243 is a good gun, and one day, when you have kids, the 243 will be a great gun for them to carry.
Good luck,
