How'd you make out NoSoup? The other thing you haven't mentioned is what you plan to use the rifle for? If just targeting, a lighter caliber would work fine. If you like to target, then you'll most likely get into longer ranges as the level of difficulty goes up with distance. Anything from a .17HMR to a .243 would be fun for that. Basically your "varmit" calibers. I lean towards the .223 myself being ex-military (M-16 caliber). But a 30-06 isn't bad for an all around rifle either. They used them for snipers in Nam so you know they have the ability to be accurate. It really all depends on what you want to use it for. Let us know...
P.S. If you want to have fun on the target range, a new in-line muzzleloader isn't a bad way to go either. ;-)
