[a Winchester M-70 Featherweight in 30-06 would be tough to beat.

I shot my first cow elk with a Fwt that was rebarreled with a 23" Douglas #3 in 30-06. She was running at 135 steps and the rifle was "perfect" in my hands! I was using the old Hornady Light Magnum with Hornady 180sp. It had a Leupold 2x7, scope was on 5x. I gave that rifle to my missionary friend in South Africa with the Federal High Energy 180 partition loads. He killed every PG, including Cape Eland with it! With these newer powders, you can give those two loads a run for their money! Put a 168 TTSX in it and out do both of them on game! So...I have to agree that the Fwt to beat! smile
