I suspect the extra recoil of a 270 or 30-06 would still be likely to intimidate a newby shooter. I'd go something in the 6.5x55/260/7mm08/308 range. Suppressed and not too light in weight.

if only u had a nice 7mm saum suppressed...
I would have thought 30-06 a bit heavy on recoil for novices.

I think you just described a perfect situation for 7-08, tikka, dpt modular, limb saver optilocks and that vx3 you just sold.
30-06 is the way to go particularly should you get and Yank clients, they will love it.
Rex Forrester used 30-06s end of story.
Something like a Tikka T3 s/s in .270, .280 of 30-06 with a VX-3 4.5-14x40 LR and a quality suppressor. Recoil will be negligible with a suppressor and any of these have the legs and energy to achieve what you are wanting.
Hunting is not a hobby.....its an addiction
Blaser R8. 6.5x55 140GR Amax.
Heavy, but also safe and easy to see what state your client has the rifle in with its cocking system. Also something a little different and nicer for some of your clients to have a play with.
And a good excuse to get another one without looking like a giant hypocrite
