The perfect "Walking Rifle"

Savage Model 16 in 6.5 Creedmoor. Has a 22 inch barrel, weighs under 8 lbs with a scope, and has minimal recoil. Load it with a 160 grain bullet which has a sectional density of 0.328 (you need a 220 grain .308 bullet, a 400 grain .416 bullet, or 500 grain .458 bullet to beat that sectional density) and you have a brush gun.
 
Wow, it's amazing...

... what wide variety of responses we've gotten. When you seen cartridges suggested from 22 LR to 30-06 class, you know there is more than one way to skin a cat! I love imagining how people use each rifle they suggest.
 
Get a good bolt action in 223. The Savage Models have some that come pre-scoped for under $500. Next, order a chamber adapter in 22lr from MCA Sports.

This will allow you to use it for both deer and rabbit...
