If I was gonna plink and target shoot informally...the M1903. Yes, if you're eyesight is good it will kill most medium game and larger out to 300 yards easy. And a nice M1903 will rise in value. Plus its THE historical U.S. WWI rifle.
If you are to seriously hunt. The M700.
Although...a M98 Mauser that has been turned into a custom sporter in .30-06 would be MY favorite for a hunting rifle.
