What would you use?

I can currently choose from blackout (AR, 1-4 scope), 308 (bolt gun, 4.5-14 scope), 30-06 (bolt gun, 3-9 scope), 45-70 (lever action, buckhorn sights)...or maybe build a .458 Socom upper for a spare complete lower I have....topped with a 1-8 scope or something.
I think those are the ones that are currently most suitable from my safe.
This would be in Minnesota if that makes a difference.

So the '06 is a Winchester Model 70 (mid 70s era).
The 45-70 would be a Browning 1886 w/ 26" Barrels...not exactly a fast moving gun. I suppose I could borrow a buddies Marlin 1885 Guide Gun for a "just in case" backup.
