The rifle I would choose would be my Win Mod 70 Featherweight in 280 Rem caliber with a Leupold 2.5-8X scope. And if able to use only one bullet give me a 140gr premium. It would be a bit light for some game and maybe a bit heavy for other but overall a good compromise.

I have pre-64 Mod. 70 .338. Great round really hammers the game. I'd like to get a 7-08 and a 22-250 Ackley.pak

Most of my hunting is done in thick woods,so my pick would be a Marlin 1895ss in 45/70 topped with a Leupold compact scope.

One RIFLE? That means I get to keep the handguns and shotguns - right? Then I want either a T/C Encore or a NEF Handi-rifle with a small selection of barrels (223, 22hornet, 45/70, and either 308, 30-06, or 280rem).
But.....ain't many troubles that a man caint fix with seven hundred dollars and his thirty ought six."

Timber, I've been watching this thing grow and finally decided to wade in. However, you nailed me with your first post; only I'm a little more basic! I'll also go with my Pre-64 Model 70 in .30-06 Sprg. My only custom touch is a rubber recoil pad and a VeloVellini rubber sling. I have a Leupold 2.5 x 8 x 36mm Vari-X-III scope in Redfield mounts and rings. The rifle will shoot almost anything well, but LOVES PMC factory loaded 150 grain Barnes X bullets. I own a decent selection of rifles, but this would be the last to go! It's the one I plan to give my son (that kind of says it all to me). Great thread reading everyones idea's! Odessa

I really like my 338 RUM, but if I can only have one I'll move down my cabinet past 3 others and grab my rem 722 in 257 AI. IT has a 700 trigger and safety and Leupold 6 x. It shoots 87, 100, and 120 gr with no need for lateral adjustment of sight!
