308, 30-06 are great choices. 270 can drop it like it's hot. 6.5 creedmoor is great as well.
Manufacturers that I like are Ruger, Savage, Remington, Tikka/ Sako, Weatherby, and Sauer.
This one not Sig Sauer even though I love Sig Sauer pistols.

Now for the downsides. 6.5 creedmoor wears the barrel out faster. But if you don't plan on going plinking and hunting with it, who cares if it wears out the barrel after 1500-1800 rounds?
If you expect the proverbial end of society then 30-06 is going to be less versatile than 308. 270 also will be less versatile as well.
So, get a 308, 30-06, 270, and 6.5 creedmoor and whatever you don't like or want you can always gift me!
