I know this will get laughed at, but I’d take a Browning X-Bolt Stainless Stalker in 6.5 Creedmoor with a Zeiss Conquest HD5 3-15X42 Rapid Z 600.

Easy to load for and great factory ammo. Super-accurate rifle. No extraneous BS.

What could be a sadder way to end a life than to die having never hunted with great dogs, good friends and your family?
