Next rifle caliber thoughts !

[Midnight Rider]

Probably add a 223 , or 22-250 to the stable as a 30-06 can take down any big game animal in North America .

It’s hard to take any rifleman seriously unless he owns a .358, or 35 Whelen

Truth, right here.

Unless he has a 338 Fed and a 338-06 ASquare THEN he’s ahead of the game with the much SUPERIOR 338 cal ! lol RJ

A 375 Ruger would be nice , does wonders on elk and deer, with good shot placement

A 22 hornet is my fav.

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 !

Add a 223 sporter to that list and you'll have all the bases covered.

Hardly ..... The 35s are nice, but that 30-06 will do all the OP needs for heavier game.

Looks like you "need" a fast stepping 22 centrefire, I am thinking a 22-250 or 220 swift. You are also in "need" of a good upland and small game shotgun-12gauge is the obvious choice, but the 28 gauge has so much more style and class!

45-70 turns 150 soon... good reason to get one.

Only thing is a lever action or two. You have the top to mid end covered, mid to lower end, you have a 22 now, so next is naturally a lever. Once you get one, it is hard not to add a few more flavors to the mix. A milder 44 mag, or a kicking 45-70, or something of the cowboy calibers. 44-40, 444, 45 colt.

Second the brush gun comment. A lot of 45-70’s are heavy. Prefer something light and compact, check out the 16” 92’s.

 

[murph83]

.223 would be my suggestion. Sounds like you have the big game more than covered. 223 more or less covers everything else smaller then a whitetail.

 

[Highwind]

243 gets you up to deer or down to yotes...

 

[hawk-i]

As others have said a .223 is a great addition or maybe even a 7.62x39 to shoot cheap surplus...CZ527 ??

 

[propliner]

A 6.5 Grendel is efficient, accurate and very capable for its size. It's very pleasant to shoot.

Yup Great cartridge ! But he has its big brother the 6.5 CM so NO need for a Grendel - logical choice is a 223. REM . RJ

great suggestion. The CZ 527 is a fantastic rifle

OP, Summing up the answers you got, you have all the available cartridges except the ones you already own. You don't NEED another rifle for your hunting. Get what you WANT.
