Remington nylon 66 rifle / 30-06 Win lightweight McMillanStk2x7 Leopld
Remington Nylon 66
The Eskimo Scouts of WW2 fame wanted a 30/05 bolt rifle and a Colt Woodman 22 pistol and their own knife. No one is a better survivalist than them. I have several 22 caliber pistols and 22 magnum that would fit the bill. But a Remington nylon 66 weighs no more than most pistols and holds more ammo and is more accurate.
The 30/06 post 64 Winchester. I put a Lt Wt MacMillan stock on it. it is bedded and trigger worked. The Winchester trigger is a very simple device not prone to problems. I kept the iron sights and use Weaver steel rings and bases to hold a 2x7 compact Leopold scope in place. The whole rig loaded with sling barely weighs 7 lbs. I reload but this rifle shoots anything well. You can remove the Weaver rings and use the iron sights in just a minute if you had to. The caliber will take anything in North America with the right bullet and putting it in the right place.
