In the spirit of the thread, I suggest:
.243 Win .30-06
This covers varmints, small deer and larger deer and black bears.
If it was a more general two rifle battery, then I would like some overlap for the cartridges. Keeping with the varmint theme, at a stretch, I would suggest
.25-06 .338-06
Other than that, I think this provides good coverage - lightweight mountain rifle /better wind bucking and something to hunt larger game
.270 Win .338-06

A Midweight 6.5 CM (under 8lbs all-up). A Lightweight 6.5 CM (under 7lbs all-up).
Could substitute the 6.5 CM for a 270, 7-08, 308, or any other number of cartridges.
The cartridge shocked me a bit, but he did mention others. There is efficiency in one cartridge and two different setups. I certainly can't fault the 6.5CM from either the range or the field performance.

375 H&H period. However, the old 30/06 wouldn't bad either.

Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.
