Next rifle caliber thoughts !

[Leavenworth]

Okay trying to think ahead , if I was to purchase one more rifle what caliber / cartridge would you add .
It would mainly be used for hunting . I’m covered for what I basically hunt moose and deer but might want something else .

I have a 30.06 and a 6.5 Creedmoor .22 LR . It would be something that’s not wood stocked and stainless or cerakoted metal
Thank You !

A 300WM OR 7mmRM in the fold would have you rounded you out top to bottom and short to long range with what you already have in place. Common Cals, should be relatively easy to find factory ammo or components for (ya I know about shortages currently) as everyone seems to be on the PRC bandwagon.

Any M700, Tikka T3 or Vanguard S2 if your on the cheap and/or looking at sprucing it up later on in life would be good starting points.

Want to go bigger or smaller? .338 of some kind? or .223?

 

[Weatherby Fan]

You need a 7mm/.284 cartridge in the line up, 7mm PRC is the ticket.

 

[L86 All Terrain]

You need a brush gun. 45-70, the only government you can trust.

 

[AlbertaJohn]

I think you need to add a .223 .338wm and a .45-70 to your list.

A 223 Rem is more fun then all the other cartridges combined.

 

[28 gauge]

A .348 Winchester would be nice and different .

 

[Slimbo]

I agree you’re missing a 223. Cheap and fun to shoot

 

[Demonical]

35 Whelen, most underrated cartridge there is.

Or... 9.3x62

[Northern Shooter]

375H&H or 416 Rigby.

6.5x55 swede is another favourite of mine.

 

[The Kurgan]

I would look for a Sako Bavarian Carbine in 9.3x62!

 

[MilitaryCollectorMark]

260 remington? 223? 7mm-08? 22-250? 7x57?

If you reload I'd suggest a 458wm. Loaded up will take any game on earth. Loaded mildly it's a bolt action 4570. Cast bullets and trail boss it's a big pellet gun. 250gr to 600gr bullets. Great hunting round. Plus it's not mainstream

A .54 cal front stuffer.

.22bra

 

[sharp shooter]

I'd say 222 if you handload and 223 if you don't.

204 is really fun too either way.
