308, 7mm/08, 30/06 are all pretty popular - perhaps a bit less so with the '06 in Australia.
Just check you are ok with recoil and don't have a flinch if going down the '06 path. Do you know anyone who has one you can try?
While I have fired a couple of shots out of a .458 Win Mag and a .470 NE double, and lived to tell the tale, I like my 6.5x55 because it is very mild recoiling - mine has a plastic butt plate and I have no issues - makes second shots easier and stuff like that.
Yes, those scout style rifles do look interesting :-)
