Occasionally I'll carry a .35 Rem 336 with XS ghost ring.

The one I should carry, is a lightweight AR in 350 legend with a 1-4 scope with a 2 point sling....but I'm just a bolt junkie and didn't talk myself into carrying it last season.

It doesn't beat out any of the previously mentioned, but over the last week I've spent some time shooting a CVA Cascade in .350 Legend. Surprisingly nice little rifle. Smooth action/bolt, great feeding from flush fit mags, very nice trigger, free floated sporter-contour barrel, nice balance, and although just factory synthetic, the stock is a very nice pattern that fits me well. For a low $, off the shelf, close-in bolt action rifle chambered in a modern day 35 Rem equivalent, it's a winner.
