As much as I enjoy the .30-06 Springfield (especially out of a 24" Bbl'ed 10.5 lb. M1 Garand)?
I think that the .270 Win is a "better" optimized cartridge for a sporter rifle for medium to large game.
It shoots a 150 gr. bullet at nearly the same velocity as the '06, but that bullet has the BC and SD of the 180 gr. variety, so you get the performance of the heavier bullet with generally accepted tolerable recoil (in the light weight sporter rifle).
Win/win.
