A 7 pound CRF stainless barreled .308 with a front sight to allow the use of a backup peep. Would also like a backup red dot or one of those Leupold prismatic sights ( no batteries ). Primary scope would be a good Leupold variable 3-9 or thereabouts in QR rings.
Lots of calibers would be fine, but there is a multitude of bullets in a variety of weights and shapes as well as a ton of cast bullet molds, .22 caliber sabots and sub-caliber inserts available for .30 caliber rifles.
An '06 would be just as good for most uses, and better for some, but there's more cheap .308 brass out there now as well as match grade stuff.
A good alternative, especially here in the East, would be a good .50 caliber in-line, unless you need to hold off hordes of zombies.


What fresh Hell is this?
