If you only rifles chambered in 2 cartridges, what would they be?

223 and 375 ruger

I've been looking at 9.3x62 lately. A Sako 85 in this caliber would fit well with a 243 also.

Lets keep this thread on track. It's centre fire cartridges. If I had to pick rim fire it wouldn't be 22lr, it would be 25 Stevens or 22 wmr.

 

[LittleBoyLefty]

223 & 30-06

 

[hometownhero]

22-250 and 30-06.

I think I would have to choose a .243 Win and a .300 WSM. Just my .02 cents.

 

[rl4930]

On the top end, everybody seems to favour the 30-06, which seems about right. You can't deny it's adaptability. On the other hand. I realize the 223 is super popular, but I really think the 257 bob is the round.

 

[Shaman118]

223 - 308 just for access of ammo if shtf

 

[guido]

223 & 30-06

me too

 

[mrgoat]

.243 and 30-06 both in M-70's

 

[emerson]

I recently had a close encounter with a adolescent grizzly. 30-06 now seems a bit light.

Hmm. That sounds like a thread on its own. Enlighten us and share what you think about the perfect big bore.
