Hunting in Maine where it is so thick a 50 yard shot is a LONG way and most of the time I am still hunting, a long rifle would be a PITA. Where shots are rarely over 125 yards it would be a Remington Custom Shop 7KS in .350 Remington Magnum with a 2.5-8 Leupold VX-3. Load would be 220 Speer FP at 2600 fps. If all my hunting was going to be in open areas were shots over 200 yards were common and weight/length was not a factor, then it would be a Remington 700 CDL stainless fluted in .257 Weatherby. Gun runs 120 Speer BTs at 3200 fps and .3 MOA... But if I had to combine the two conditions and only have one rifle then it would be a lightweight .25-06 in something like a Remington 700Ti or Kimber Montana... Bob If I was only going to still hunt tight cover, I think that it would be hard to beat a Ruger 44 International mounted with a Leupold VX2 2-7x33 that had been retrofitted with a heavy duplex reticle.
