If money were no object, I'd have recommended a Holland and Holland double rifle... in a nice proper caliber like 300 Holland and Holland magnum...
or a custom Mauser, done up in exotic wood, in a custom caliber... like a sweet .284 Winchester...
money being what it is (you mentioned that somewhere else, earlier,) planning ahead and all, a good Savage is the most bang for the buck... inexpensive, accurate, and solidly-built...
I HAVE the custom mausers... and when it comes down to brass-tacks, I haul the Savage 110-E 9 times out of 10!
(It's the only one I haul to Colorado in the fall for elk-hunting...)
