Your 3 gun battery-what is it?

[west250]

Typically when I go on multi day hunts, I tend to have packed:

Anschutz 1416 dhb (blued and wood) in .22lr (for beheading grouse). I could bring a shotgun for the same task but I prefer the challenge and lack of pellets/feathers in the breasts...

Sako 85 Hunter (blued and wood), in 7mm-08. (It kills moose and smaller just fine, but is the spare rifle for bullwinkle since picking up below)

Cooper Model 52 (blued and wood), in 30-06


I may sub out the Sako for a CZ550fs in 6.5x55 next hunting season depending on how we get along in the meantime….

 

[Dogleg]

7mm STW, .375 Weatherby, 458 Lott. I would have said .375 H&H but since the Weatherby will shoot the H&H I get a twofer. Same with the .458 Lott/ 458 Win.

 

[quarterman]

257 Wby.
7mm REM mag
300 REM ultra mag

 

[Royzo]

257 roberts, 35 whelen, 12 gauge. All pumps

 

[fugawi]

.243 Savage 99F
.308 Winchester M88
.358 Browning Lightweight '81

This is just my go to deer/moose battery. If shooting other critters I'd have to add to it.

(why only a 3 gun battery?)

Parker Hale 6mm REM
Sako A7 SS 300 Win Mag

[7mag]

220 swift
300 win mag
375 Ruger

 

[rhino62]

.223, .308, .45/70

I would choose the same, all military calibers!

 

[mourre]

25-06R bolt
35 Whelen bolt
16 ga pump

 

[Tikkam65]

[brybenn]

3 center fire rifles
25/06 bolt
45/70 double
458 wm bolt

3 guns
12 ga pump
25/06 bolt
458 wm bolt
But I'd miss my rimfires

I live in a caliber restriction area and hunt small game dove and waterfowl as well as fox coyote wolf and bear. 3 guns just aren't enough for me

 

[9.3mauser]

9.3x62 + 7x57
Still waiting to fill the gap for the third choice, can't make up my mind what I want; .223, 22/250 or .243.

Could also be:
.338 + .270 or
.375 H&H + .30/06

 

[chasseur]

Sako Bavarian carbine 308
Anschutz 1418 mannlicher 22
Ithaca 37 new current make 20ga

 

[Ardent]

.308 (Springfield M1A)
.375 H&H (Merkel double)
12g (Ruger Gold Label)

I'd need a pistol cartridge as well, and would choose the .454 if only permitted one. I could take a 7x57 in place of the .308 as well, I'd just like one semi in there.

 

[Weatherby2]

17 HMR
243 win
375 Ruger

 

[Rob]

Traditional Western Canadian

30-06 bolt action
22. LR bolt action

If its to be all centerfires, then:

.375 H+H bolt
30-06 (or 6.5x55) bolt
.222 bolt

All things considered about where I live and where I would like to hunt one day:
