A $200 Ted Williams post 64 30-30 fits the bill for me. Equally good for deer, coyotes, hogs, or people out to reasonable ranges with a serious caliber. If stolen, I will scour the pawn shops for its replacement.

Actually, I already have its replacement. A $150 Bubbaed 1943 Mauser with a 2.5x Weaver in the even more serious caliber of 7.92x57.
