I never did act on this concept... but there is 15" of snow outside and it got me thinking about it again. Fast forward to the present, I am thinking a 20" barreled Steyr Pro Hunter, in 308 or 7mm08, with Uncle Mike's mountain sling, and a handloaded 120 TTSX (7mm) or 130 TTSX (.30)... scope it with a bulletproof 6x42MQ...
