I would say your best bet is to stick with the 06. Wide variety of loads and will be fine on elk or whitetail or bear. Reload your own and the possibilities are endless. While I am a M-70 guy I have to say, for the money the savage mentioned by specialist is a great rifle. I would spend as much as you can on the best scope you can afford. High dollar optics will make that savage deadly! Lastly, you need to practice with your rifle and become familiar with it. Familiarity makes you confident. If you are confident in yourself and your rifle you will make a well placed shot. In the end, shot placement is going to be the key to your success or failure no matter what caliber you are shooting or at what range.
