Hunting
I'm no expert, but some guys like putting the Hubble Telescope on their rifles so they can pick the fleas off a doe before they take her down. Personally I prefer an objective < 40mm, bigger than 36 or so and it just seems too bulky for me. Also it lifts your sight line up off of your bore increasing parallax and lifting your cheek off the stock. The big objectives do offer better light, but less magnification doesn't require as much light.
Also, with increased magnification it's harder to keep the sight picture steady. Not a problem if you're on a bench, but offhand it becomes a problem. 1/2 moa hunting within 100 yards (with a 30-06!) is a bit of overkill, imo.
One last thing, a 30-06 delivers quite a recoil not just to your shoulder, but to the scope as well. You want a scope that can stand up to that shock without losing its zero. I would avoid the cheaper scopes on anything above a .22.
Again, I ain't no expert, that's all just my BS opinion.
