You can be very well-armed with a .30-06. The 1903 Springfield and the M1 Garand are both chambered in .30-06. Get the Remington 700, it's a great gun. You should also be able to find a used '03 Springfield at any gun store, and Springfield Armory is reintroducing the M1 Garand on a limited basis (but it's procey: be prepared to pay $900 - $1,100).

'03 Springfield used to be a dime a dozen but since "Saving Privite Ryan" came out you can expect to pay $400 a copy. I still say its worth it.
