Travis; Good to hear you've found a spot to take the young hunters to. Some of my very favorite hunting memories are chasing jacks and what we called "bush rabbits" when I was their age. As for the comment, I do appreciate your patience sir. I am after all, born and raised a Canuck and so as you know all that is entailed in one who chooses to remain in frozen wastelands needs to be taken into account. Ready to split the atom - I am not.  Dwayne PS; Feel free to share any and all rabbit hunts with your fine family. I always enjoy them immensely sir.

These hypothetical "If you could only have one....." posts are stupid. When you have 4 kids, a wife that's a stay-at-home-mom, and the bills that go with it, one big game rifle ain't necessarily hypothetical.

That description fit my old man to a "T" for a couple decades of his life. It didn't detract from his passion for hunting and putting a little venison on our table.

P64 M70 in 375H&H in a syn stock with Kahles Ill 1.5-6 because it will do absolutely anything. 235 or 270TSX for NA and 300TSX for Africa.
I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all.

Since I already own it this is an easy one. My choice is a Steyr-Mannlicher Model M Professional .30-06 with a set trigger and a Meopta 6x42 with #4 reticle in Warns QD mounts. It is scary accurate. For bullets I will go with 165gr Federal Vital Shok ammo.

There goes another poster trying to CHEAT. Op says only ONE BULLET and rifle. Shod OK OK I'll go with a 300gr solid. That way I can dig it out of the dirt and re-use it. Does that satisfy the OP?
