Both excellent choices, with a ton of published info. What are you going to do with it? Do you reload? Traditionally, the 30 06' is less money to operate in terms of loaded ammo and reloading components. What range's are you contemplating? I am a fan of the 06', it is a proven performer and an inherently accurate cartridge. I have bot the 7 and the 06'. I shoot the 06' twice as much.
