I'd recommend spending a bit more time researching your caliber choice. A .30-06 with a 220 grain bullet has a lot of stopping power, without the recoil of the magnum. There are some online ballistics calculators that help you compare velocities and energy among the various calibers and bullet weights.
A well-placed .30-06 bullet from a gun you are comfortable shooting is better than a thrown bullet from a magnum that has you flinching...
Good luck with your choice.
