All I had for a big game bolt gun was my iron-sighted Ruger M77 7mm RM for the first 20+ years. Prairie dogs, coyotes, antelope, deer and elk all died quickly.
If I had to go back to one rifle, that would be the one.
Having more is just more fun, not a necessity.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
