220 Swift
300 Savage
9.3x62 Mauser Very outstanding trio Must be a closet AU fan!  I don't hate on AU, but I can't say I am a fan.... Is that the three you picked too?

Since I have no interest in anything larger than maybe an elk and if I was starting from scratch and not considering I already have a bunch of reloading supplies mine would be:
22lr
.223
.308 win
I will admit however that the 223 could be just as well replaced by a .222 or 22-250. The 308 could just as well be covered by anyone of a dozen mid sized cartridges such as the .270, 30-06, 7x57 etc. in Ky 270 is min for elk.

.19 Calhoun
.256 Newton
9.3x64
All in classic wood stock rifles blued steel and for extra points the Newton should be a Newton Rifle and the 9.3 should be on a fine custom mauser

This topic should have a poll to track the popularity of the three choices because there's just too many selections in here to keep track of!

These would cover anything I'm going to hunt. If not, I'd borrow a big boomer for Africa.
I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.

Don't "need" 3 rifles when the .300 Whelen will do it all.
