Need to downsize ...

[Dogleg]

i'd keep #5, sell the rest, and buy a nice 22.

Or maybe a 22/250. I'm lousy at following my own advice, but a guy doesn't really need a dozen rifles that all do the same thing. Nothing wrong with a spare, so the .300 and whatever you like the most.

1.Winchester 70 Clasic s/s in 243
5.Winchester 70 Clasic s/s in 300 wsm

Since you're about to give up your guns (downsizing for me is like 4 out of 40, not 3 out of 5), you may keep it uniform: same gun type. At least you can have it easy on parts, etc.

243 would take anything small up to a deer, 300 WSM would take down anything from deer to a bison + provide a good distance.

I forgot. Consider the fact, that you can sell the rest of the guns for a good price without getting a big hit ($$$). 7-08, 270 WSM and 30-06 wouldn't be hard to sell, while you can keep the guns that would do the job.

Which two of these 5 rifles and calibers should stay at home?
Three mast go with great regret.
1.Winchester 70 Clasic s/s in 243
2.Tikka 3 Lite s/s in 7-08
3.Whinchester Clasic s/s in 270 wsm
4.Ruger 77 Mark ii s/s in 30-06
5.Winchester 70 Clasic s/s in 300 wsm
Thanks,
Evan

I would keep numbers 1 and 4, and sell the others.

Well ... thank you guys for your input.I have made the decision to keep them all.I have two young girls and I would like to start them with 243 and get them gradualy to 7-08 and 270wsm in the future.Will see how that turns out.For my personal needs/wants I guess I would like to keep 300wsm and 270wsm.
One more time thank you all for the help.

Now your thinking!

I would have kept the 300 myself pretty well rounded case for anything.

 

[B.R.A.S.S]

Keep the winchesters' they are pure rifles, but then again so is the ruger, the tikka is ugly, but I bet it shoots great. Ah, descisions, descisions

 

[Borcagu]

Hi guys,
Yea ... all the rifles are in mint condition, shoot way better than I can and are paired with VXII 2-7 Leupolds and 300 WSM has Zeiss Conquest 3-9 on it.

They are in too good of a condition to part with any of them.

I know there is a lot of caliber ovelap, but I guess my girls will sort the things out for me in the future.
Thank you,
Evan

Geez and here I was thinking how would you survive with just 5? Good choice.
