I am enamored with the thought of one man and one rifle. Sort of like Quigley and his Sharps... Seems to me the modern equivalent needs to cover all the North American bases: The "one man one rifle" should be able to shoot near or far (that cuts out the 45-70), and should be able to handle anything from eastern deer to western elk to mountain sheep/goat to Alaskan grizzly bear. The 325 WSM will do that. It ain't a charge stopper on an enraged grizzly, but it meets all the other criteria. It should handle rain or shine, which begs for a synthetic stock and stainless steel.

Seems to me the 325 WSM is a fine choice. What is yours?
