Ok you guys. Pick up to three rifle calibers for your ideal North American big game battery. From Alaska to Florida.


.257 Roberts or .25-06 for whitetail and antelope. My .257 has a 4.5-14x as it doubles as a varmint rifle.
.300 Win Mag for mule deer through elk. 3-9x scope.
.45-70 for moose, bison, and big bears. 2-7x scope.

In whatever finish you like.

Of course 3 rifles would seriously limit my fun. I�ve got Marlins in .30-30, .375Win and .45-70, and bolt guns in .257 Roberts, 7mm Rem Mag, .308 Win and .300 Win Mag. And I still "need" a couple more to fill in the gaps.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
