Have you a particular rifle in mind? How far are you comfortable shooting?
I've been very pleased with a Bushnell 2-7x32 on a short action 308. At one time I thought I might need more, but I never have. I can't imagine you would need more than a 3-9x40 for the ranges you would shoot with a 30-06.
Think about what you are willing to carry around all day, and think about how far you are comfortable shooting without a scope. I forget who posted it, but somewhere on THR I read some good advice as follows. If you are comfortable with a 50 yard shot with iron sights, ask yourself why you need more than a 2X scope for 100 yard shots, or a 4x scope for 200 yard shots, or a 6x scope for 300 yard shots. Then ask yourself if you are even going to attempt a shot over 300 yards on big game?
The pupil of your eye can open up to about 7mm, and that might be optimistic. So if you want to match your eye's light gathering capability for that 6X scope for that 300 yard shot, you want about a 42mm objective (7x6). That way, the exit pupil of the scope, 42/6=7, matches the exit pupil of your eye.
That economical 3-9x40 sweet spot is looking pretty good now, isn't it? And the 1.5-6x42 you listed. Why, that is just perfect!
A 3-9x40 may be slightly dim cranked up to 9X, but it will be OK at the range at 9X. Are you going to take a 300 yard shot in dim light? Probably not. How about a 200 yard shot in dim light at 4X? The 3-9x40 gives you an exit pupil of 10 for that shot. Just something to think about.
The 1.5-6x42 on your list...Great for those close range woods shots at 1.5, and fine for those long shots too, while still delivering enough light to the eye.
You listed some larger objectives in your post. Nothing wrong with that, if you don't mind lugging them around all day, but maybe more than you need or will ever use. You are hunting, not targeting shooting.
