Doesn't matter a whit to me what someone else thinks might be "best". What matters to me is what I choose from the options available to me. That has been everything from a .44 Mag to a .45-70 in the levers and .257Roberts to .338WM in the bolts.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
