So far the likely candidates are:
450 Bushmaster / Ruger American Ranch, Gunsite Scout or #1; or an AR15
444 Marlin / Marlin
45-70 /Marlin or Ruger #1 or #3
Coyote Hunter - NRA Patriot Life, NRA Whittington Center Life, GOA, DAD - and I VOTE!
No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
