.223 it's like a pocket knife, I never want to be with one or three.

The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming.

With so many choices overlapping one another, one is sure to have 4-5 choices around a favorite.



Pretty much sums it up for me. I've tried a bunch over the years. Had fun but should have picked any one of a dozen and saved my money.

So far it's been the .30-30 Winchester. I think in the future it's going to be the .300 Savage.

Come deer/bear season the last rifle I'd want to be without would be my Marlin .30-30. The rest of the year my .223 gets the most use of all the centerfires. If I had to I could get by with either all year.

I, like many of you, have a rifle addiction. I have far more than I need, with very few "gaps" to fill, and really can't pick a favorite. It has been said that "the next one is the only one that matters" so I'm taking a different approach here. I love .35s and 9.3s. I badly NEED a 9.3x66 (aka .370 Sako Mag). It won't do much more than the 9.3x62, that I already have, and won't do as much as the 9.3x64, that I already have, but I lust for one just the same. I'm getting ready to part with a handgun I never use that'll get me close to half of a Sako "Grizzly" 9.3x66, so that's what I'm working on at the moment. After that, I also NEED an 8x68S.....

The first new rifle I bought was a .270 back in 1966, it was stolen when I lived in apartments but, I have had several and have never lived without one since owning my first. No good reason to explain my sentiment, I only occasionally hunt with one.

I like a quick light weight .308 in heavy cover, and a 7RM for open windy plains.

It's a tie. 30-06 or 7x57. Captdavid


"It's not how hard you hit 'em, it's where you hit 'em." The 30-06 will, with the right bullet, successfully take any game animal in North America up to 300yds.

If you are a hunter, and farther than that, get closer!

I've thought about this more and more and would have to say I'd hate to be w/o a 22 lr or a 12 ga. Everything else is gravy.
