Leupold 1.5-5x20mm scope. A Ruger RSI in 260, 7mm-08 or 308 would work. After the first shot the rest are just noise. Make mine a Minaska Heaven has walls and rules, H-ll has open borders

The rifle is 9 pounds (scoped, loaded, slung), Winchester Model 70 action (trued), Douglas Match Grade SS barrel with lightest contour available for my caliber with express sights and forward sling swivel on the barrel, McMillan Classic fiberglass stock full-length bedding with Pachmyar Decelerator recoil pad, a Leupold 2.5-8 (for about 20 years) then went to a Leupold 3.5-10 CDS about 10 years ago, in .375 AI.

AussieGunWriter Campfire Tracker A Joined: May 2005 Posts: 7,082	I've already owned a couple of John Rigby & Sons rifles so I know what quality is, and costs, so if I was prepared to spend that amount of money again, that's where I would go but.......during those same years I had other rifles I used and I get just as much enjoyment out of a Winchester Featherweight rifle than anything 10 times its cost. A Weatherby Mark V also fits me surprisingly well and I shoot them accurately in larger chamberings though have had a bunch from .240 thru .460. I guess it doesn't matter as much as just being out hunting for me. Still have a crush on the Winchester Featherweight in 7x57 because I know what it can do. When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.
