Any of my Ruger M77, MKII or Hawkeye rifles, particularly the stainless./boat paddle .30-06 or .338WM MKII's, stainless/synthetic Hawkeye .280 Rem or blue/boat paddle .300WM.

Savage 11, 111, et al., no. Remington M700, no.

There are others I would trust, others I would not. As others have said, the closer to a '98 Mauser the better. I would also want a simple, open trigger.

Backup iron sights would be a good thing, too. My stainless/boat paddle .338WM has them, as does my blue/wood M77 in 7mm RM.

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.
