I am now working on what I believe to be the perfect still hunting rifle. It is a Marlin 1894 in 44magnum. It is at the smiths now having an action job and it's trigger adjusted to 3 lbs. When it comes back I am mounting a Weaver K2.5 scope on it. For still hunting I don't think this can be beat. Last year I had a ball with a pre 64 Winchester 94 in 30-30 with an old Redfield peep sight. Another REALLY nice gun which is well balanced and fast is an old Remington model 14 in 35 Remington, these guns RULE. I think our Granfathers had the right idea on still hunting rifles!
