I'd take a 35 whelen and have two loads sighted in and ready to hit the woods. One load with 158swc 38spl bullets at 1400 fps for small game, and the other for large game. The trick is knowing what you're doing with either equally well

The trick is knowing what you're doing with either equally well One can do similar with a .358 Winchester. Having two scopes, each set up for a specific load solves the different POI for the two classes of ammo. I have three set up for mine, have that many types of loads. Those 35’s are interesting calibers with lots of options. I’d say it would be hard to find more effective options in another bore size. DF

2 rifles? Nope, not going to happen... DF I bought 3, just in the last month... 30-06 308. Trying to make it a 30-06: Good shooting sucker though: I also bought a new barrel for one of my AR's: This 2 rifle bull crap is not going to cut it... Whew!!! Thank god the op changed his OP!!! Edit- I deleted most of this post because it was long winded and a lot of people seemed to be getting confused or just bad reading comprehension.
Here the deal, and to simplify it this time. Everyone is allowed a .22 and a shotgun and all the rifles and pistols you want. You can have all the specialized rifles you want for dangerous game or varmints etc.
Now you will have two rifles that you use more than any of the others for big game. First will be for deer size game. Think CXP-2 -The 2nd rifle will handle elk, moose etc Think CXP-3. If your elk rifle is a 416 that is fine also. The main idea is you have two rifles that you grab most of the time that you know inside and out. Or it can be one as far as that goes. These two should always be ready to go hunting at any time. Should always have plenty of components/ammo on hand for them at all times. Ok, 2 rifles: 1. 30-06 shooting 200gr partitions: Its my old faithful. Fits me like a glove, since I filed and sanded down the custom stock to fit me. Works very well on critters. 2. Trusty old 338wm. Built on a pre 64 H&H action: Knocks the snot out of elk... and paper Group shot off of a rickity ol 1962 table.. Just sayin Oh, and it was snowing and it was cold..

My trusty 35 Whelen and even trustier 35 Remington. Today only the Remington got fired

Good choice. I wonder what it would have been if the op would have said 3 rifles?

Already stated previously:
25-06 Remington 30-06 Springfield
Maybe in one rifle that is a switch barrel.
