Perfect for my terrain is a modest weight rifle with a 20" tube with a compact style stock. Like most easterners the majority of my local hunting is from box stands or tree stands and it is perfect for that. Just as fitting for stalking public land from daylight until dark, shooting across fields, blasting coyotes or anything else I want to do with it. smile

I even carried this rifle on a Colorado Public Land elk hunt last fall and scored on a 6x6 at 294y at 11,400'. The modest weight was a huge improvement over the last rifle I dragged with me at that altitude before.

The donor was a left hand Remington 700 Youth Rifle in .243 Win. Barrel is a Rock Creek 1-11.25" 5R in 308 Winchester with a McWoody Remington Compact. Weight scoped is 7lbs 3oz. I think had I built this rifle first, I probably wouldn't have bothered with the rest of them.

A good older lever action like a pre-war Model 71 348 WCF
or an 1886 in 33wcf.

The choice of rifles encourages real still hunting.

Even worked in AZ on Coues white tails.

I've used a Mod 94 Winchester in 30-30 which worked just fine. Most of my deer have been shot with a Tikka M65 in 30-06. Have killed more than a few with a Browning Abolt Eclipse in 300 Winmag, but my new best deer rifle is a Tikka T3 stainless synthetic in 6.5 x 55 Swede with a 130 gr TSX travelling bout 2750 or a 140 gr at about 2700. Dead is dead.

Had my perfect rifle built last year. Remington 700 chambered in 358 winchester. Barrel was chopped to 18.5" and its wearing a burris fullfield 2-7X. I hunt thicker woods with no shots ever over 200, usually less than 100. Also, duracoated the action, barrel and bolt. Shoots 220 speers flat nose really well.

The 308 is just never "wrong." Probably my favorite cartridge. I've taken everything from coyotes to elk with it, including my biggest whitetail.

PWR # 1 My stainless Barrett Fieldcraft in 6.5 Creedmoor. 120 gr Nosler BT

PWR # 2 My stainless Remington SPS in 7mm-08 Remington bedded in a McMillan Edge stock, TriggerTech trigger
with the barrel cut to 22”. 120 gr Nosler BT.

PWR # 3 My Kimber Classic in 7mm-08 Remington. 120 gr Nosler BT.

Now my problem is deciding which PWR (perfect whitetail rifle) to take when I go hunting that perfect whitetail. They all will do the job well.

PS - I forgot my PWR # 4. My stainless Ruger M77 MkII in 308 Winchester. 150 gr Hornady SP flat base.

Every time I see one of those RSI's I think of the one I had in 308 and am sad I didn't buy one when they were plentiful in 250 Savage.

I had them in 250, 7x57 and 308. Great little rifles.

I was at a gunshow in Wyoming and it was covered with the Wood stainless RSI's in 250 Savage, in fact it was the best show for Rugers I ever saw. I bought a boat paddle stainless MKII in 338 for $375. Great rifle but it was not a lot of fun to shoot. But the RSI's were going cheap, and I still wish I had bought one, 1983 I think it was.

All mine were wood/blued. I just can't stomach the stainless/wood RSI's made now.
