......the occasional hunter wielding a hopelessly inaccurate rifle, living by the fantastical rule that this cartridge can deliver the goods, regardless of shot placement or rifle accuracy. The correct term for this is minute of ego.

Well that's purdy darned easy, as I only own two hunting rifles. My winter caribou scabbard gun and mountain rifle is a Bugger Cockeyed 77 in 338 RCM with 2-7 scope. At 39.75 inches, it just barely fits under handle bar of dog sled. 225 grain fusions at 2720 fps. In mountains, if a sheep is taken, I'll probably drop the scope and load up with 275 grain A-frames sighted to the open sights for bear that might sniff around a pack full o bloody sheep meat. Been practicing to 500 yds with the ballistic recticle. Them fusion boattails buck wind purdy good. Affordable and manageable recoil for 30 round target sessions. Benchmade bugout for the steep stuff. For my fall time moose hunts by freighter canoe, I'm really liking the 41 calibers! What I'm finding with the mighty 41s, is that they have this anchoring effect on really massive, rut-charged bulls. With an animal the size of Yukon moose, that anchoring effect will save your back and knees. Fatally hit, mature bulls along a swift, cold river can continue into the river, and get blasted into a splintered woodpile up, or die in a swampy oxbow pond. They can do this in just seconds. Had a buddy who broke his back packing out a bull about .5 mile from river. 416 Bugger Cockeyed 77 cut down to 22.5"(Stoopid barrel threads gone). 2.5-8 scope in Alaska arms LLC quick release rings. Bench made crooked river. A 4 inch blade is ideal for moose chores, no shorter. Gawd dmn is Ruger good to us Alaskans, with good chamberings in this affordable, investment cast bulllllllsht! **One hole groups with both guns, as if that even matters.**

A 223 and a 30-06 would be tough to beat Agree. Don’t like the two gun scenario, but those two would cover a lot of uses, make a lot of sense for a number of reasons. DF

Only own 2 centerfire bolt rifles. The ot6 on top with either of those bullets designs will do on big stuff I imagine. The 8x57 with the S&B 196gr SPCE bullet I now shoot out of it is a hammer on WTD and probably big stuff also. Outside of the subject of thread below: Same exact Sightron SII 3-9x42 duplex on both and my savage 220 and kodiak. 45 ml. Sight picture the same across all 4. No mind fugg schit going from wpn to wpn. Consistency........

.223 and .7-08AI would work pretty good too. Both Montana’s, Hawk Hill on the .223 and hart on the 7-08AI.

A 223 and a 30-06 would be tough to beat Agree. Don’t like the two gun scenario, but those two would cover a lot of uses, make a lot of sense for a number of reasons. DF Hard to argue with that. I'd want a fast twist .223, either in a qulaity AR or a good bolt gun. One can shoot military ammo, load 75 SSII's or similar for hunting, load down for kids and plinking, etc. Ammo and brass will always be the last to go away. The '06 works great from light to heavy. It's a screaming WT rifle with 125 NAB's, etc, a monster killer with 200 or 220 NPT's and equivalent. Also does will with mono's pushed fast. There's just not much the old '06 won't do, fed the right ingredients. Brass and compontents will be easier to find than some others. Someone will always have a few cases, etc. I'm bored to tears by a two gun scenario, would rather have a couple of safes full of good rifles. But, given that scenario, practicality rules. Pick two that will span the widest of applications and do the most good (or damage). considering hard times, ammo shortages, famine, pestilence, etc. Those two rounds will see you thru the hardest of times and look good doing it. There are flashier choices, more interesting choices, but I don't think there are better choices, given the limitations the OP has sugggested. DF

I have two already my 700 in 270 win and my MCR in 7mm08. Both all weather and ready to rock. If I would change that I would ditch the MCR in 7mm08 and replace it with a Kimber Montana or Model 7 or Barrett Fieldcraft in 7mm08 and go with one light weight rifle.
If you held a gun to my head and made me go with a magnum on one rifle I would go with a 700 in 300win mag and a lightweight 7mm08.
Life can be rough on us dreamers.
