I wouldn't ever call a caliber that does what it is expected "boring". I'd call that very exciting and an absolute reason to use that caliber over something "exciting" that may or may not function as needed.

Go get that 30.06 HPNomad. Oh and the stock, especially if you have the 11/111 with Accustock, will be as good at doing what it is supposed to as almost anything else. As pretty? As comfortable? Maybe not in the eyes of the beholder, but it will work extremely well and a gun to be very proud and pleased with. Get a good quality scope and rings to fit your hunting needs and you will be in business. Years down the road if you want to spend more money to maybe/maybe not improve the actual performance of the rifle, you can.
