I also got away from the one rifle for everything in the late 70s when I had my .30-06 rechambered to .30 Gibbs for elk size animals, and built a .257 Ackley for deer size critters, and a .22-250 for anything smaller.
Over the years I picked up a few other rifles like a .270 Win, a couple of 7mm Rem mags, and a .375 Ultra mag for Africa.
That battery worked great for me until about 5 years ago when I finally built a .300 Weatherby. I still consider the .22-250 my varmint rifle, but I now like shooting and hunting with my .300 Roy more than any of my other rifles.
