- .223 Rem
- 6.5 Creed
- .30-06
- .30-06 (back-up)

You could substitute one of the .30-06's for a .308 if you wanted to have an AR-10 type rifle or some such. If you ever actually get the chance to hunt brown bear you can buy a heavier rifle specifically for that hunt. With the above list you would have a main rifle and a viable back-up for hunting pretty much any NA species other than the brown bears. Back-up rifles are important, stuff happens, and when it does it's nice to be able to retrieve another rifle from the truck.
