Hmmmm.
It's got to be a bolt for me, in .308 I can always get ammo that way. A 26" bull barrel fluted probably stainless, if I need to I can dull the finish. A crisp trigger that will break around a 1lb, no travel in it. short action. custom stock, barrel free floated all the way from the lug out, with a gap you can see, no way for grit to build-up in the course of a day. directly below lug a leather pad attached for resting over trees, rocks or whatever I need to get a solid rest. Topped with a top of the line scope, don't care which brand, guess Zeiss would be fine, a 30mm tube and 56mm objective, in case I need to shoot at night or real low light. Complete with a leather sling. Built on most probable a rem BDL receiver, possibly a shilon barrel.
It'd work for all requirements, even shoot ducks off the water if need be for survival(head shots). It may not be the worlds best choice for sending attackers packing, but then if your in the bush with your one rifle, you can always hide rather than duke it out when your outnumbered. Fact is, you can have a full auto in the house, and if a few guys show and are spread out, your chances of living if you fight are slim. Sometimes the best thing we can hope for if faced with large odds, is to slip out the back, lie quietly and get a good description of em. This idea some have of taking on a gang of armed intruders is nonsense. If forced to, fight it out, but if you are an unknown, do the smart thing and don't be another statistic in the murder column.

Just once wouldn't it be nice to hear a politician say,"I don't believe this way, but the people do."
