I can't see the need for a 30-06 and a 308. In your case the 7MM-08 makes good sense.
I agree 100% and have owned both and taken game from deer up to including moose with both rounds. The .308 and 30-06 both shoot the same bullets at virtually the same speeds if you are shooting factory ammo since the 06 is always loaded mild to avoid blowing upold miliotary actions. No game animal will ever show any difference in its quick death. I would buy the 7mm-08. A good hard stare will kill a deer inside 100 yds.
