270 or 30-06 are both fine for what you want to do. I have a 30-06; my buddy has a 270. They both work fine.

I have a savage 11 in 260. I think that if you got a savage 111 in either 270/30-06, you'd be happy.

If you have patience, probably a well-maintained classic rifle will cross your path. I got my Ted Williams model 53 (Winchester 70) with scope for 250. Shoots great.

Good luck hunting.
