If you want a new rifle, 30-06, 308, 270 are all great rifles that have good ballistics. All shoot flat and carry good energy.

May just end up doing both.
The Mag is just a POS savage w/ a bolt that's always been a bitch to get to seat properly. It's just not a very good gun but it's really light so I may just keep it in the event I ever do a real 'trek' style hunt.
The Browning is kinda heavy, as to be expected. Great for a short pack kinda thing.
I wish anyone actually carried the things. You have to order them from just about anywhere and I'd really like to lay hands on one before I bought it. Oh well.
