Remington 700 and Winchester 70... can't go wrong with either. If you want an excellent rifle for the money, check out CZ.

PS: The 30-06 comes in so many different loadings it can do most everything.

FWIW: You might consider black powder cartridge guns - 30/65 45/70 45/90. The antique & classic BPC firearms are readily available, and downright beautiful. My Remington 45/70 can take a deer down at 300 yds with no problem. Granted, it takes work to maintain them, thorough cleaning is mandatory. Any reloader worth 1/2 his salt can make 45 cal loads for you in their sleep, or you can learn reloading and bullet casting yourself.

Remington 700 is hard to beat.

The '06 would entertain you Big Time !
It is nothing like the .303, which I shot last week.
Get a Nosler Reloading Manual, and do what they say. I went from 5" factory groups to sub-minute with H-205, seating just behind the rifling, etc.
1903 Springfields would satisfy you, as would a Winchester M-70. I am told the new Savage is quite a great performer too, and somewhat inexpensive.
