Having said that, hard to go wrong with a 30-06 as your only gun. But if you would prefer a touch less recoil (closer to the .303) the .270 would be the ticket.
I quoted those two because they are the two that generally are used.
that being said, often times they are the only ones available as well.

That is wh i recoom3nded the '06 for the heavier animals.
FWIW, I own neither at this time , but have killed stuff with both over the years
, and neoither would be my first choice - but then anybody who shoots the cartridges and fire arms I like to shoot has to be mor ethan a little bent, be it the choice of shotgun OR rifle!!
