Beautiful, but it looks like it would take two men, and a boy, to carry it.

Notice the Hawken barrel and forstock about the same weight as a replica Hawken muzzel loader 10 lbs M14 rifle 9 1/2 lbs

Nothing. I want the bubblegumers to just jump on the grill and save us both a ton of time and effort.

If they only made a gun that gut, skinned, and packed meat. I'd buy that one!!!

Tikka T3x stainless. Light weight, very accurate, one of the smoothest actions, no care if it gets dirty or scratches and rain/corrosion proof.

Ideal is a long ways away from "good enough" and the savage 110 is plenty good enough for me not to stress about getting all the way to ideal.

Though if I had to come up with something, I'd say a matte stainless gun with left side bolt handle, right side feed/eject at 6lbs or less including scope in a cartridge roughly equivalent to .270 Winchester.

Replying to myself this is the rifle I coveted for a long time but whether by price or circumstance was always just out of reach for me. Finally a couple years ago the sun, moon and stars all lined up and I got my Browning. If it came down to grab and go this is the one to feed and protect me.

308 AR10 I would guess for a semi.

22-250 for everything! Just ask me why!

[Tlock]

Why?

Because it works.....I've killed everything in Oregon with it!

For small game I like to use my circa 1946 Savage Model 19-33 NRA Match Rifle.
