I'd take a 7mm Rem Mag over a 30-06 any day. Just sayin...
But anyways. IMO, just pick a 7mm or 30 cal that has enough oomph to it, and let the bullet do the talking. Good bullets are going to make the difference; not whether it's a 30-06 or 280. (though I'm a sucker for 7s)
Take a looksee at: Remington 700, Savage 111, Stevens 200, Ruger 77. I wouldn't have a problem gunning any of those, though I'd prefer the 700.
