For a factory rifle, just get a Ruger MKII or Hawkeye stainless in 30-06, leave it in the factory plastic stock which is quite stiff and light in its own right, and has some very prominent checkering molded-in for grip.
Leupold's 4x with a heavy duplex would do what you need to do anywhere. Factory open sights would be great but are about impossible to find anymore, so you'd probably have to have them added if desired.
