I don't even own a 30-06 at the moment, but yeah, that's what I'd pick. My varminting these days pretty much consists of opportunistic shots at coyotes, hogs, and the occasional crow that hangs around and tempts me too long. So not too many rounds a year at really little critters. More at steel targets. I'd look first at the 175LRX/Hunter combo at about 2,800fps for hunting and then find a cheaper alternate bullet that jives with that trajectory for practice.
