i like the 30-06 caliber, i think it is one of the best, as far as which one of the two is the best i cant treally say, i own a winchester model 70 and like it alot. the only thing i dont like about your selections, and this is only my OPINION, is the synthetic stocks, i still like the wood stocks myself, good luck in finding your gun, i think you will be happy when you find the right one.
