There's a gap between .223 and .270 ? Not really in my book. In my book the .223 and .270 would fill the medium and large slots {though I'd prefer a .30-06 to a .270 on the top end} and you still need a good rimfire rifle for the small stuff.

My personal feeling is that rifles in three chamberings simply do not provide enough flexibility in minutiae arguments. Thirty is a good start. +1

Since I see you live in Ohio, why not get something that you could use in that state for deer. A 357 mag rifle would be good. Those cowboy type lever actions are a nice walkabout gun and when you get older and can't take the recoil anymore, it would be the gun you would be glad you bought. Did I mention home self-defense?
Might consider the 350 Legend also. The only problem is no background on it for how it performs on game yet.

Got a 3 centerfire rifle battery in mind. Just making things simpler.
270, 223 are the bookends.
What goes in between? And why A .270 AND a .223? Why two varmint rifles?

7" twist 6mm would be my pick, probably the Creedmoor.
Mine as well.

250 AI is a very underrated cartridge.
Just saying.

Sounds like a good spot for a M77 tang safety or M70 Featherweight in .257 Roberts. Happy Trails With an AR in .223 , a 24” bolt in .270 . One is left with the obvious wMart ammo choice of 6.5 CM Done Montana is a boring, boring place, with nothing but wide open spaces.

I never really cared much for Jack O'Connor, but his battery of a 222, 270 and 375 HH would work just as well today as it did in his time.
Of course a 223, 257 or 416, 22 Hornet, 30/06 and 458 might right in there too. 204, 7mm Mag, 416 Weatherby....

Stainless
Tikka T3x
223 & 308
20 inch barrels
One shared silencer
McMillan Sako Hunter
Sportsmatch 30mm rings
Nightforce NXS 2.5-10x42
Upgrade the bottom metal and bolt handle
Go hunt.
Then spend the serious money on a full blown custom 22lr with the most beautiful walnut stock you can afford.
Rust blueing, nitre blueing, checkered steel buttplate, engraving on scope rings and bolt handle.
And the best optic you can afford for looking through for hours without eyestrain.
Just go hog wild on the fit and finish..
Then you have something you can look at for hours while admiring the immaculate work done... and shooting thousands and thousands of rounds each year.

With your bookends that makes good sense.
