Pick 3 **centerfire cartridges** to cover NA game

I think if I did a lot of big game hunting, all over the world, and could have only 1 gun, it would be a 375 H&H, built on an FN action, with battue sights. Yes, there are more modern calibers that surpass it in terms of ballistics, but with 105 years of extremely solid and reliable performance, I don't think anything can match it. You can use it from deer-sized to elephant-sized game, at ranges from point-blank to 400 yards. And you know the ammo wil always be available, whereas the same can't be said for some other 375's.
I had a double rifle in a 9.3x74R, but I'm really serious on purchasing a 375 H&H on some type of Mauser bolt action with open sights and scope.....I never had one before. Sorry for the side track.
 
Doesn't matter what you pick as long as you type "nuff said" after your comment then whatever you picked is the coolest. With that out of the way I will pick 223 rem, 270 win, and 338 win mag "nuff said"
 
Lol, just poking some fun. A lot of guys always type this saying on the B.C. and Alberta hunting forums, it always makes me laugh a little.
 
.22 - for small and upland game, teaching kids.
12 guage shotgun, - migratory birds, upland game, rifle restrictions, home defense!
And any of 7mm RM, 30-06, 300WSM (or WM though it can be recoil heavy). I'd lean to the -06. Properly loaded, it can tackle a lot of NA game - 150 grain to 200 grain bullets or even 220. Factory ammo is easily available everywhere and generally tame to shoot.
