I believe in the old saying that you don't need to buy your second rifle until you buy your first reloader.

With that in mind a 338-06, 338RCM, 358 Winchester, 350 Remington Magnum or 35 Whelen can cover a lot of ground. Everything else is just filler.

I'm probably going with a Howa Mini in 223 with a straight 6x or 10x SWFA scope.

A 358 Winchester in a Ruger All Weather Hawkeye with a Burris Veracity 2x10 scope.

And a 1886 Browning 45/70 with peep sights or a 760 Remington rebored to 9.3x62 with a 1x6 scope.

Guys with families and short on money need to be looking at some of these guns with options in my opinion.

A Savage in 25/06 with a 338/06, 35 Whelen or 9.3x62 barrel added later would have about everything covered big game wise. A CZ 455 22lr could add a 17 HMR or 22Mag barrel later and have all the rimfires covered. A AR15 could add a 300 Blackout barrel and 22 conversion kit.

That's a bunch of different options with basically 3 guns.
