RE: 30-06 options - am I cheaping out with a combo?
I agree with the above on passing on the combo package. You're paying for that cheap glass and it's true you can't hit what you can't see.
As for the cartriges I'd drop all the wsm stuff and maybe consider adding .308 to your list. Does just about anythign the .30-06 will do with less recoil. Also cheaper to shoot and plink.
