If you were to purchase 4 single-shot rifles, what calibres would you choose?

[The Kurgan]

.22 Hornet
7x57
8x57
45-70

In the spirit of this thread, I added my favourite varmint cartridge. As for .22 LR, I am happy with a bolt gun. My current single shot is chambered in 308, and I like it alot. For some reason, I am a fan of former military cartridges... 7x57, 8x57, 308, 30-06 and 45-70. I also believe .22 Hornet was initially developed as a wildcat and later issued by the US military in survival rifles. They all just plain work.

.22
223

I started out with a Handi-Rifle in .223 Remington, then got them in .308Win, .243Win, and .44RemMag. I still have the .223, but I sold my Handi-Rifles in .243Win and .44Mag when I got a very nice bolt action in the former chambering and a lever rifle in the latter, because there isn't enough time to shoot nor space to store them all. And I sold the .308Win because I'm very invested in Lee Enfields and .303British does anything I would do with .308Win. But that's the one I most regret selling, so I might get another if conditions were right. And I would like to have a single shot in .303British, especially with a Martini action.

So, .303British, .308Win, and ... I can't think of two more that I would want.

[conor_90]

Have an 8x57r Haenel wouldn’t mind if it was a 303 Brit ruger or euro 7x65r or 30 r blaser

An 1885 trapper would be neat, and I want to replace my long gone 500 S&W handi rifle but preferably in a different platform
