Buy the stainless 30/06 and not worry about the rain or snow or sleet or......
Or one in 270Win, use monos in both. The Tikka Stainless Superlite jumps to my mind for a rifle. The 30-06/168TTSX or the 270/130TTSX or Trophy Bonded Copper, etc. Shoot them through the shoulders. Whichever rifle you have that is the lightest, easiest handling. You "might" get time to get in a good shooting position and pop him at 300-350, but more likely will jump him up closer, like quail hunting! Have a ball Pard!
