Both great calibers right now I would say 3006 as more variety of ammo.

  On the hand gun note any 357s on the list

Old school Remington Model 700. I'm biased towards the .308

If it were me would go with a Sako 85 in either classic, hunter , or Bavarian models.  7mm-08 would be the cartridge

How much do you want to spend?

I went through the same thinking process initially looking for a Rem 700 Custom build in a caliber including .308 (this thread:  

)

However, after a lot of research I decided to get a Weatherby Mark V custom build in .270 Weatherby Mag.  It's probably the best rifle I own.  Outperforms the Rem 700 in .30-06 that I have.  Shoots sub-MOA with a lot of shots keyholing at 100 yards.  The Weatherby .270 Mag shoots flat and drops only 2"-3" at 200 yards.

The custom rifle build is second to none.  Incredible attention to detail, and I picked through a range of colors for nearly each individual part.  It wasn't cheap, and that's why I asked what your price range is.  Also consider what kind of glass you're going to put on top of it.  Getting a great rifle and then cutting corners on the glass might not be what you want to do.

Good luck with your search, there are a lot of very good rifles out there looking for a new home!

Agreed.   For the money they are hard to beat.  I have one in 7mm-08. Lightweight, accurate and action is butter smooth.  Can’t go wrong with 30-06 or 308.

How far are you realistically shooting deer at in PA? Your options are endless!

A Remington 700 in .270 is a darn good shooter as well

I have the remington 700 in .270 fully composite . Gun is light and shoots great. If i miss it is my fault.   My favorite gun hands down...

The rifle Booner has for sale fits the bill.

x2 on the Weatherby Mark V

Personally, I use a 300 Weatherby Mag since I reload. The 270 mag is a great load or you can opt for the 30-06
