Cartridge is straightforward - 30 06 - boringly effective and efficient.

The rifle, well I kind of like the CRF 98 Mausers and in new rifles I like the Winchester Model 70's and the CZ's.

In a second hand rifle I would look for a FN Browning, or a late model "Classic" M 70. I like the Ruger 77 mkII's but not the triggers.
