Hunting only. Hard to pick less than 7-8 but these would do.

.22-250 sporter only. Fast twist... or not. Overachiever. Second choice .223 Montana. I have one. Love it to death. Wish it was a .22-250.

.270 Win. Better now than its ever been. 110 TTSX @ 3450-3500 point-and-shoot-right-now, to 150 Partition @ 2950-3000 leave-your-magnum-at-home-for-elk. Second choice 7x57 just because 7x57 unless its a .275 Rigby.

.375H&H KS. Light, yet still potent even at 85-90% throttle. Once you have a .375 H&H its hard to go without. Ever. An oversized .30-06. Cast bullets are an excuse to use it on pygmy deer. Pygmy deer don't care.

.44 Mag. B92. Wrap your hand around it goodness. Easy to cast for. Easy to have 600 rounds laying around. Takes me back to my beginnings. Iron sighted primal. Other side of the mirror. Second choice, same gun in .357 Mag.
