M70 in 7mm RM, custom built by Bill Leeper, Smith barrel, D'arcy Ecols bottom metal (4 rounds in the mag.) lots of smithing to true the bolt for been square, Mcmillian super-grade stock and more.
Strictly for carry preference, my Marlin 336 in 3030 with a Williams peep sight.
The 1895 Guide is almost the same, but not... quite.
I find both of these rifles compact and nicely balanced, and quick to come up on point.
My Remington 700 Mountain rifle is also very quick to point, but not quite the same as the 'can openers'.

Parker Hale 1200M
.308 Norma Magnum
Outstanding shooter for a mauser action and a very impressive calibre
This rifle rocks
I love mausers
Leupold M8 4X32 fixed
Rock solid with redfield mounts / rings.
She is a little heavier than your standard lightweight.
However I regularly carry full wood .303's in the bush with the Rangers so this rifle feels light weight (to me).

Well, uhm....
Currently, I would have to say a Browning A-Bolt II "Gold Medallion" in 30.06 (pictured) with ear defenning Boss at 24" down the barrel, looking through a VX-II 4-12X40 AO fine duplex, with a tan leather cobra sling, very comfy, but loud (Boss that is).
But that's all going to change in the next couple of months;
As the new baby will coming home from the doctors when she's all done.
You know how it goes when you get a new toy, it commands a fair amount of attention to get it all set up the way you like them (loads and stuff that is).
Soon to be a Browning BBR 340 Weatherby Mag, 26.5" Gaillard barrel, topped with a VX-III 4.5-14X40 AO fine duplex. it will weigh a bit more than the A-Bolt (less time at gym more hunting) and probably roar loader too (less time hearing/listening to girlfriend). It's going to be fun.

For my all around bush gun I always take my Remington 7600P .308 whether I'm prospecting, hunting, fishing or quading. 16.5 inch bbl and a folder. It is light, dependable and takes 10 rounds of Hornady 150 gr. SST light mags no problem.
