What caliber choices in your safe

I personally like the 308, for long range, but will never snear at any 6.5 caliber!
I shoot may 22LR match rifles at 200 yards often as well.
I also use the 6mmBR once in a while, but it is more that TYPE of rifle shooting that I enjoy that dictates my caliber preference - Palma match.
iron sighted match rifles are what I really like to shoot, I'm not much of an Fclass guy, which is currently what my 6mmBR is set up for.
For long range palying around however, I sometimes shoot the 6.5 WSSM or the 6.5WSM, but these are normally shot off the bench , not prone with a sling.nd irons. I also have a 45/70 coming back to me that is set up for long range with skirons with a 30" Badger barrel.
Oh, and don't forget the 303 british at 1,000 yards, what a hoot!
Hope you weren't looking fro me to picj just one!
If iI had to however,it would be sling 'n' irons with a 308......

I think that's all I'll have, until I go to replace my 12g next year. Finally in a position to afford a new Beretta (and one for my Dad), and the ol' 2 3/4 is getting tired.

Thanks for the reply Catnthehat, I am just about to dive head-long into iron site, TR/Palma Match as well....
I picked up this past fall, a Wichita 1375 single shot 308 rifle with 30 inch pipe....but need a good target rearsight.
Who would you order this from Cat?
I cannot say, I have tried any 1000 yard yet, but did try the M1 30-06, at 800 meters this past summer.
Cheers.........
