The best all around rifle would be my Ruger 77 in 35 Whelen. I hunt with several others, too, but if I could only keep one, the Ruger Whelen would be it.

There was no greater freedom than when I would leave Holiday Park Fish Camp heading my airboat west toward the Big Cypress. Fuel for 4 days, a good machete, an ice chest. No phone, no radio. Just God and me and the Everglades.
