I like too many of my rifles to narrow it down to just one, as I hunt carbines in some spots and 24" barreled magnums in others. I did acquire one new rifle last year with the intent of a "whatever, wherever, whenever" kind of rig. It's a magnum-weight Ruger Hawkeye Predator in .308, shooting the 150NAB at 2,880fps. Flat enough to work with the long range duplex reticle, easy-shooting, and I've never had problems with the terminal effects of the .308win. With the rough SS finish and laminate handle, it's also one I don't worry about actually using.
