Stiles -

I have two air rifles in addition to a number of other firearms (all locked in a thousand pound safe). The air rifles are good for nuisance pests like ground squirrels. If you like shooting the '06 and have a friend that reloads, have them load you up some lighter loads. You can actually get bullet weights down to 55 grains, I believe. So, you could shoot similar to a 22-250 load in your 30-06. My father-in-law has a very small frame, and he always loaded his shells to a lighter load. If you ever go through Wisconsin, I'd be happy to help you out.
