RE: 30-06 vs. 270 WSM
I wouldn't trade my .270 WSM for any other gun.
You can't go wrong with either round. The .270 WSM will shoot flatter and you will have cheaper and more availible ammo with the 30/06. Personally opinion: if you shoot 300+ yds, go with the .270 WSM. If not, go for the less sexy 30/06---it just makes more sense.
