.222rem
.308win
and I never had to track more than 30yds

 

[Woodsman]

.223, .30-06....do I have to pick another?

If I must pick one more, a .338 Win. mag for the big Alaskan Brown bears and NWT/Yukon moose (which I will probably never see!).

 

[Ryan j]

Here is what I use:

.223 Rem for Varmints

.308 Win in the Bush(Deer, Black Bear)

.300 Win Mag out in the open(Haven't killed with it yet but have shot it out to 600 and I find quite flatter shooting than .308 or .30-06.)

 

[Crazy.kayaker]

only 3 well I'd pick
.223
.308
.45/70
or
.22-250
.30-06
.45/70

He said only 3 centerfires.... you can have as many .22's as you like...

NAA.

 

[LittleBoyLefty]

This is easy....

.223 Remington

300WSM

.375 Ruger

x2. Well, sorta. My .30 cal. is a -06.

 

[esquif]

223
30.06
460 mag

 

[Rembo]

some interesting replies....460's for moose...overkill and the price of factory ammo will prevent many from shooting enough to be proficient with it..

I'm gong to be tearing out my gunroom soon for reno's and I'm not sure I'll set up to reload again.

I leaning to 223, 270 Winchester... and either 7mm Rem Mag or 300 Win Mag....have all of the above already...have a 7mm Weatherby too
and a couple 7mm STW's...but factory ammo is very limited for these two.....

 

[martinbns]

For me
223
30-06 or 300 winny
375 H&H
Sounds good,
but probably the 223, a 30-06 and a 20 guage shotgun for grouse, that would be efficient but boring.

WHAT?....no 7mm SAUM????


adding in a shotgun I would have to go with my only shotgun...a Winchester 1300XTR 20 gauge that I've owned longer than any other gun I have....

I'd keep my two 10-22's also...

I originally asked about centerfire rifles only...

If I do this, the list of rifles for sale will be quite looooong......

When's the next Gunshow in Edmonton?

 

[mike shickele]

I'll go with the 223 and the 30-06. If I have to go with another, I'll take a 375H&H just to pownd the snot out of some unsuspecting elk.

[Huntsman]

Ummm..I'd have to say .223, .308 and 7mm Rem mag

 

[hitch.bd]

Just to be a little different than the norm , I'm gonna say:
.22 Hornet
.303 Brit
.375 H&H
after all you did say bolt action right?!?

 

[joe-nwt]

223 for all the small stuff

300WM for all the long range big stuff with appropriate bullets for the particular critter

35rem for the close-up big stuff

 

[Rembo]

Ummm..I'd have to say .223, .308 and 7mm Rem mag

these choices make sense to me......

 

[RickF]

I'm late checking in, but I'd go 223, 7mm-08 and 300Win.

The 223 would be a sporter, the 7mm-08 a Kimber Montana and the 300Win...not sure. It might just be a Montana WSM.
