Looks like the recoil would kick your a$$. You should put a good quality recoil pad on that bad boy!

We call them a Wallaby Jack out here Bushy. Every 4WD that goes offroad or into the "bush" carries one...a high lift jack is a necessity.
We have some magnificent forests out here...but of course the timber industry is hell bent on cutting them all down...trees that rise hundreds of feet into the air and are hundreds of years old...they only see dollar signs.
Cheers, Vince

We have a farming system of tree harvest here that is tightly regulated by the government.
As for 3 rifles,
- No.4 Rifle converted to 308Win. - Deer, Moose Gun
- AR-15 Variant of some sort chambered in 223 Wylde. - Small Game Gun
- HK UMP/USC45 Carbine - cause its the same caliber as the pistol I want
I currently own one, but if I could only own 3 rifles I would trade/sell/buy to get the other 2 on this list.

Rifles...the man said rifles!  Assuming the worst of all possible scenarios...  Soooo...here goes.
.22 long rifle...either my CZ452,  my Ruger 77-22, or a Marlin model 60.
The .223 SR 556... once the new manufacturing bugs and hiccups are worked out of it. Irons. A less expen$ive alternative: Savage model 25 in .223.
A bolt '06, .308, .260 Remmie, or .270 Winchester. Or...an M1A. Properly scoped, of course!
Now, for other necessary tools:
Pistol: 22 LR Ruger Mk II, or Single Six, iron sights.
Smith & Wesson 357 Maggie, Colt steel .45 Commander, S & W 39, or Ruger SR9. All with iron sights. Although my eyes won't allow long range shooting anymore, within 25 yards, sufficient to my needs.  Gonna try a small red dot sight, just to see...
Good, bright, with reasonable run time, and by that, I don't necessarily mean EXPEN$IVE, either; flashlight, or three.
Shotgun
Knife: Rambo styles need not apply. 
AA batteries, and toilet paper. |

Bushy, I checked real quick, my toilet paper is about 1.75 caliber. Not sure what brand Sniper uses though...
