I should have stated that I'm planning in thinning down to 6. So two may need to hit the road in the near future. All of these are Rugers and range from original M77 - Hawkeye. I've thinned several but one down to the tough ones. I assume I could use a big magnum but the 30-06 could pull that duty. Swift brass is hard to come by and the swede is too nice to let go or carry. Like I said tough choices. The 30-06, 308, 280, and 25-06 will never leave my side. The 243 shoots too good to sell and the overbore swift and 264 are long time favorites. So I guess I answered my own questions maybe all should stay.

I'm jut looking for some looney opinions.

Thanks men.


The .270 is the greatest hunting catridge ever designed. To dispute this fact is to only justify our loonieism in owning and hunting with inferior cartridges.
