options
Of the cartridges listed, for me anyways, I would definitely go with the old '06.
As previously mentioned, bullet options and available ammo are much higher than likely all the others combined. And, at the end of the day, they just work!
Personally, I would opt for a larger caliber. Minimum 338 or 358, or God forbid, the ultimate cartridge, the 375 HH.
For many years, the 338 was my "one gun" selection. Killed everything from antelope to moose. 30-06 would handle them, but then it comes down to bullet selection and bullet placement.
