3.5-10x40 CDS with 168 ttsx
All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

4-12 or 4.5-14 Leupolds on the half-dozen rifles I have used or would grab to go elk hunting. The rifles haven't changed, but the scopes have all been swapped over to 2.5-10x42 NXS or 3-10x42 SHV all with IHR reticles.
I can walk on water.......................but I do stagger a bit on alcohol.

I love the open top as well as having windage/holdover reference points @ 3 and 6 MOA vs. only having 1 point @ 2.5MOA.

my open country scopes are the same ones I use in closed country. You been hunting in North Korea again? I hear that's a closed country.

Did y’all not hear Leupolds are gay? People that shoot and know way more than us elk hunters say they are gay. If those that know way more than us are gay that's fine with me. Their sexual orientation matters not . This^. And I still like the Gold Rings!
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

Nothing fancy for me - Leupold VX1 4-12x40. I only have the 12x because my eyes aren't what they used to be and at 300 plus 9x just isn't enough any more. OTOH, I got my '18 elk with a plain Jane 4x but it was only 75 yds. Even I could have used open sights on that one.
