Gotta go with the two I got ... Kimbers - 8400 in 300wsm and 84M in 257 Roberts. They will do for everything I've got on my plate.

I'd choose matching rifles in 7mm-08 and 375HH. Both would have Leupy VXIII 2.5-8s. The 375 would also be in detachable mounts and GOOD open sights.

Kimber Montana 223 and 7WSM.
If the light rifle isn't necessary then the same 7WSM Montana and my 358 Norma.
Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!

My Kimber .260 rem does everything I need, but if I was looking for a heavy gun, it would be the Kimber 8400 in .300 WSM

I will take this a step further. The set up that I am currently using a Blaser R-93 Professional with the following barrels: 22 LR, 6.5x55, 308 (20" barrel with sights), and a 9.3x62 (20" barrel with sights).
On the 22 LR, I have a Leupold VX II 3-9x36mm EFR. On the 6.5x55, I have a Swarovski AV 3-9x36mm, and I switch a Leupold VX III 1.5-5 illuminated reticle between the 308 and 9.3x62.

My Rem. KS in .280 shooting 140gr. TSX's scoped with a Leupold 4.5x14 with B&C reticle and a Rem AWR in .338 Win mag shooting 210 gr TSX's scoped with a B&L 2.5x10 4200. And really, the .338 will do all that the .280 does so if I had to pick one....

1 wife is OK but only 2 rifles is obscene.
#1) Remington Model 7 Predator (.223) with Swarovski 3-10x42mm AV
#2) Remington Model 7 .350 RemMag with Swarovski 1.7-10x42mm Z6 and I'd stick it in a suitable McMillan stock.
If were going back to Africa I'd need a 3rd --- which would be a short-barreled .375 H&H and it would wear the same model scope as the .350 RemMag
OR maybe I'd buy a Blaser and some extra barrels.
And don't even think about trying to limit the number of shotguns!

This is too easy........270 Winchester and 375H&H. Same here - I'd carry my remodeled rem700 .270 for ground squirrels to elk and be very comfortable doing so. Near or far, it'll handle the job. For the big stuff, lets say elk to big critters that can hurt ya, I'd want one of the .375's. Probably a Ruger Hawkeye, walnut/blue in .375 Ruger. I'd want good irons on the .375, but I doubt that the scope would ever leave it. Both rigs would wear Leupolds wonderful 2.5x8 VXIII.
