Wow, Dan.
We usually are closer together on things than this.
Say your job is hunting for a living, limited to any and all North American game. Canada to Mexico and everything in between. But you could only choose 2 calibers for your hunting career. What 2 do you pick and why?
Mind you, I'm not arguing with you at all.
Canada-----Mexico...everything in between. I, me, myself, we 3
feel like I need at least 1 CF rifle.
I'd go 30-06 for the win.
So, I can see your point except for the 22 LR.
Simple discussion is all.
