Don't buy a long action anything, if you're worried about recoil. So no 25-06, 270, 30-06. A really good shooting short action cartridge is far better than a flinch from a person shooting a long action. 6.5 Creedmoor, 7mm-08, .308 will do anything needed. And whitetail ain't that tough.
Buy the suppressor, get the documents straight, pay the ATF, and wait. It is well worth it. Once you hunt suppressed, that is the only way you will hunt. What suppressor do you run on your 7-08? Can you shoot it comfortably without ears? Currently a Tigershark. This year will be a Crux ArkNeo, once the government gives me permission to have it. Yes, they are hearing safe.

Mr. T,
I am a full time wheelchair user and athlete for 30 years. I have had four complete rotator cuff reconstructions. As a result of some arthritis and chronic pain, I took a long range shooters advice and tried the 6.5 Creedmor. I could not be happier. The recoil is super low (unsuppressed), bullet is flat, fast, and has impact. You can find the 6.5 Creedmor across all price ranges. I started out with the Ruger American Rifle with threaded barrel for under $500.
As for the suppressor for the potential long wait, you can check with your friends that have a trust and ask to be added to theirs, at least until you can get your own setup.

I have nothing to contribute on the suppressor question that haven’t already been covered, but I hope I can still shoot an 06 at 72 much less my wife!!! Well, my wife started reading these post and said that the reason that she has shot her 30/06 with 180 grain bullets for the last 45 years is for two reasons. One, she has pulled the trigger 24 times and has 24 whitetail, mule deer, antelope laying on the ground. the antelope was her first kill ever at 276 yards. She was laying prone on the ground with the rifle propped up on her jacket. I tapped her on her leg to say, "thats too far." But she thought I tapped her to shoot. And two, she said she is not as big a [censored] as a lot of you guys when it comes to flinching to recoil. Okay, that is what she said. What I am saying is I don't want her to have to flinch anymore to put an animal down with one shot. You got to love woman who love to hunt! She sounds like a good woman! I hope she heals nice and quick and you get her back at the hunting game with no problems 
Mmmm Hmmm
