I've got a 257wby, 2X 300 savage, 2 30/30s, 7 30/06s, and a Whelen. The Colonel gets the most use but I like them all. A good friend swears that a man can never have too many 22s or 30/06s, I think he's onto something.

Let me think -
Remington 783 with swap barrels, .30-06 & .25-06
Remington 700 completely blueprinted, custom marvel in .257 Roberts Ackley Improved (for some reason this is my third rifle in this chambering, and the second on this action, which I consider my favorite cartridge.)
Remington 700 with swap barrels, .308 Winchester, .22-250 Remington and .22-250 Ackley
Garand in .30-06
Browning M-95 also in .30-06
A really peachy keen .35-348 Winchester Ackley Improved on a Siamese Mauser
One Browning M-71 Carbine in .348 Winchester - within 0.010" of being a .35, so close enough for government work.
Contender pistols with .30-30 and .30 Herrett barrels, and that palm pounding, knuckle busting, "Oh my gosh, do you know you're bleeding?" .357 Herrett. Proving a fool and his money are soon parted.

I skipped the 35 and went 375 but I would like to have a 35 Whelen.

Guess I'm just not good at having even intervals. 22, 24, 26, 27, 30, 33, 37.. I guess my 27 is the 28 and my 33 is the 35. Or maybe my 37 is my 35.

25 Souper, .308 and .350 Rem in short action Remingtons
25/06, 30/06 and 35 Whelen though the Whelen is soon to go along with a few others that I no longer use regularly.

I don't have a need for such, but if I did sometime, I would get what I think of as the American Trinity:
25-06 30-06 35 Whelen Those 3 calibers is all that's needed. Doc

Downsizing has left me with a 257Roberts, 7/08, 7x57R/12ga and a 358Winchester for big game rifes. If I got really serious, I could get it down to the 257Rob. and 358Win.
There is also a RAR in 30/06 as a loaner gun.

I got askeerd of the big bores, what with them maybe over penetrating. Sold all that stuff. Even the new High Wall. All I have now is the RF BB gun. -sniff- Probably won't go to Africa now.
