A 700 Mountain Rifle in most chamberings available, A 600/660 in most chamberings - I’ll suggest 243, 6mm or 308 A early 700 “carbine” in most chamberings A 336 Marlin in 30-30, 32 Special, 375, 38-55 A Savage 99 in 250 Savage, 300 Savage, 303 A BLR in most chamberings A Model 100 or 88 Winchester A Winchester 94 in 30-30 or more power Several light 70’s or 77’s. Then there’s ultra lites and various other rifles from smaller manufacturers
There’s so many good choices!
The best choice is a matter of preference, experience etc.
I have many of these. My 700 7x57 Mountain Rifle is possibly my favorite for conditions you write about. I have a FX-3 6x on top of mine and I’d prefer nothing else.
I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally
