Mills;
I have been where you are. Looking through these posts, I saw some very good advice. The one thing I would share with you...you probably will not get any younger or healthier, in a few scant years, not only will the weight of a rifle make a difference, the recoil will become more noticable. Some of the suggestions are of lightweight rifles approaching magnum performance, they don't do that gently. I suggest you keep one of your present rifles and use the other as a means to something a little more user friendly. Standard 30-06 really can't be beat, however, I opted for 7X57. I am very happy with that round. You may want to talk to some of your hunting buddies, maybe a group session at the range would turn up some good ideas. Actually shooting a different rifle/calibre is the best way to form an impression of it.
