I have always been a one-at-a-time rifle owner and after I started hunting African plains game that one rifle became a .300 Win. Mag. If I am hunting whitetail at less than 100 yards, I use the Remington Managed Recoil loads which duplicate the .300 Savage.

I think another good choice for someone who wants one rifle for all non-dangerous big game would be the 7mm RM and the Remington MR loads for whitetail. At 2710 fps for the 140 grain, I think these MR loads fall between the 7x57 and the 7mm-08.

I will never be hunting dangerous game, but if I started, I'd probably add a .375 H&H.
