soberups,
Pardon me for pointing out that the '06 won't even play in the same sandbox with a 9.3x62mm. - With the 9.3x62 you are WELL-ARMED for anything worldwide
I thoroughly agree on GOOD scopes, preferably one of the "no name Zeiss" from WAFFEN BENEWITZ.
yours, satx
I think you'd get a better consensus if you asked what you should look for in a woman.
There are a lot of excellent choices from 7mm to .35 that would work fine. If you do some long range then a flatter shooting 7mm might edge out the 30-30 that was recommended earlier.

People tell me the 30-06 is too plain vanilla, so, I just tell them I'm shooting a 308 Springfield Magnum and they are suitably impressed.
I bought a model 100 (autoloader) years ago for my son. They share handling charistics with the model 88 and I get why you love yours. They are great rifles, light, quick, accurate and reliable! The last few I have seen were also pretty costly.
OK, I got that half right. Model 88's are spendy ($880-1200 on Gunbroker) 100's in the $300 range!
A remington model 700 in '06 is hard to beat for all purpose. I perfer one of it's offspring though , the .280. Bang flop eat repeat....
