Styer made good rifles, and 30-06 is a great 'do it all' round, w/loadings from 'coyote' to 'buffalo or bear' available. (FWIW, I like 165 gr to 180 gr ammo in mine for deer) 30-06 is still a great bet, the .308 may be the current replacement for a 30-06 if such a thing exists, they're similar and the .308 is a shorter bullet/some rifle designs will cycle that 'short round' and not the 'longer' 30-06. 30-06 was our 'military ammo' in WWII, there's a ton of guns in that caliber.
