[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 959682, member: 69478"] I never said what rifle and cartridge I would choose, but I would take a Remington 700 Long Range Model in .30-06 Springfield. I don't mind weight and would prefer the heavier barrel for the longer shots and that 26" barrel for increased velocity which leads to more energy which matters on the big game and the long shots. Would top it with a Vortex 4-16x44 HS-T because of its reliability, wide range of zoom, and its function-ability. Would have a standard load which would be my all around choice for small and medium game under 500yds and that would be a 165gr SST driven around 2900fps. For long shots past 500yd I would use a stout load pushing a 208 A-MAX at 2650fps then a big game load for the bear and moose and that would be a 180gr Interbond at 2750fps. I didn't really mean a full out survival situation, I mean the effective one all do all rifle and cartridge combo that you would be confident in for varying game animals from point blank out to your comfort zone. Sorry if this wasn't clear. [/QUOTE]
