Don't forget the .270,which is a necked down 30-06.There was a guy named Jack O'Connor who killed just about everything that moved with the .270 cartridge.If I was young and wanted to do a lot of long range shooting I would take a hard look at the .260 Remington.Supremely accurate and a pussycat to shoot.Of course it may be a little light for big game,though the 6.5 mm bullet has taken lots of big animals over the years.It is a great cartridge for handloaders.Also,with such little recoil it would be a fun rifle to get in a LOT of practice.As Mike said earlier the amount of time you spend at the range will determine how proficient you will become with any firearm.
