.308 is fine, but never discount the 30-06

Could not make up my mind so I got bot. . . and a 30-30 and a couple a really nifty 22’s
You chose well. My 30-30 is my favorite. It is very cheap to reload. (if you have brass and want to cast lead bullets, assuming you already have primers.) With gas checked lead bullets they come pretty close to factor and shoot great.
I got a Marlin saddle gun in 30-30. MF kicks like mule.
