Out of 6.5CM, 270, 308, 30/06 and 9.3 I always reach for The tikka 06, with limb saver, pushing 168 ttsx at 2950 as my main elk medicine.
The 270 with 130 ttsx at 3100+ fps is my back up when my daughter Is not carrying it.
Never felt under gunned, and recoil with limb saver is manageable where I can shoot couple boxes at the range with out a worry.
My 9.3 is in the classifieds

All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.
