You can go two ways from the aught6. You can go for a model 7 type rifle for up close work, or go the magnum route for ultra long range shite.
As far as those calibers, .270 and .30-06 are based off the same case and aren't much different. 7mm-08 is a .308 necked down to 7mm and there's not much difference between them. They are short action cartridges which means the rifles will be shorter than their lpng action counterparts. The belted magnums are good for 300+ yard shooting deer and for elk. They are usually 26" barreled with very long actions.

I had a 7mm-08 and bought a new 30-06 last year so you know my choice. I already had a 30-30 or I would have gone with one of those though.

So for a longer range rifle, it'd need be a 7mm mag or a 300 mag?

The .308s parent is the .30-06 as well.
Just FYI.
To the OP, if my maximum range was inside 200 yds and I already had a 7mm-08, I'd probably recommend a .35 Whelen, .444 or the like. Those will extend your season as well in a single shot gun.
