No, you're thinking about it, or rather you're anticipating the shot breaking. The way to beat the flinch is to begin dry firing the rifle. The trigger break should surprise, but not startle you. Begin by sighting on a spot on the wall, and break the shot without allowing the sights moving off the mark. Once you can do that, break the shot with a quarter balanced on the muzzle. When you can press the trigger without upsetting the quarter, try a nickle, then a dime. When you can press the trigger without upsetting a dime you have the concentration necessary to make a good shot with live fire. At the range, start with light loads or managed recoil loads. Wear hearing protection. Put the same amount of concentration into breaking your shot as you did at home with the dime balanced on the muzzle. Over time move up the power scale, first to full power loads with light bullets, then to mid weight bullets, and finally to heavy bullet loads. You'll be surprised just how quickly you can progress, and soon you'll be ready to move up from the .30/06 to more powerful cartridges if that's your goal. Anytime you suspect the flinch gremlin is sneaking back in, go back to the basics, and don't stop your dry firing drills at home.
If you've forgotten the basics, just think about the BRASS acronym:
Breath (shoot at a natural respiratory pause between inhaling and exhaling)
Relax (allow your muscles to go limp)
Aim (self explanatory, but with irons it means to align the sights with the front sight on the target, then concentrate on the front sight until you can see the smallest details of that sight
Slack (applies to a two stage trigger, but with a single stage trigger can mean making initial contact with the trigger)
Squeeze (doesn't mean squeeze which required movement of you entire hand, it means press which isolates movement only to you trigger finger)
Learn to acquire and check you natural point of aim from all positions. Oh, and have fun.
