Obi_Wan,
I'd probably stop
right here. It's tempting me.
The Tikka hunters are sharp dudes. It's difficult to beat Tikka.
BTW, you've got the right cartridge dialed in. While I don't own an '06, I do know that it's done everything that can be expected of a rifle cartridge.
Eventually, it'll boil down to your preference.
One thing I will mention is that while I like light rifles, I don't like shooting them. Even a Featherweight in .308 Win can produce uncomfortable recoil when bench shooting.
