Well, I'm seeing plenty of .308/.243 suggested and rightly so. Don't forget the other middle member in the family; the venerable 7mm-08.
I love that round out of my Remington 788, absolute tack driver and deer dropper.

With all things equal rifle weight etc. considerably less than a .308 it's often recommended for youth ladies and the recoil sensitive much like a .243 win or .257 Roberts.
What recoil?
I have a Browning Micro-Hunter in 7mm/08 that weighs only a little over six pounds. My willowy little neice could shoot it when she fourteen years old. It does kick a little more than .243 which is to say, not much.
30-06 for me. Grew up shootin and hunting with my Grandpas Remmy woodmaster 742.
Ones I shoot the most: .308, 8mm, .303
Ones I shoot often: .45-70, .22 Jet, 7.5x55, .444, .357max
I've been on an H&R kick lately, and usually buy a barrel every couple of months, and then let it sit in the corner until I can find a deal on a compatible scope... usually vintage ones off here, and then shoot a box of shells though it, get setup to reload it and shoot another box of shells, then sit it in the other corner with all of the barrels I've shot two boxes of shells though and gotten bored with. It is pretty neat to compare cartridges that way though, with minimal investment.

Since .22's are still off the table... I'll throw the .17HMR out there too. It's my second favorite to the .22lr
