With center fire in mind. 223, 30-06, 35 Whelen, 45-70. Ok, that's 4. So I can't count.
For where I live if I had to just chose 3, I'd go with 30-06, 35 Whelen, 45-70.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

Smile, relax, be glad. I’ll not be competing for your .308 ammo or brass.

Since the question was RIFLES, for VARMINTS to BIG GAME (some of you can't read...) I'd go with:
.223/5.56
325 WSM
.50-110 (or whatever you want to call a nitro 1886/71 with a fast twist .510 bore)

For many years these were my three picks: ,22-250, .25-06 .300WM.. Now I would replace the .25 with a .270.. They have worked for me for 50 years.. Of course now the safe has many options..
