I don’t know if I can narrow it to two. Most accurate is definitely the 270. Coolest might have to go to 300 h&h and 30 Govt 06.

for me..270 win and 300 H&H Same here. Really enjoying the 300 lately. Such a good cartridge and works nice with plain old H4831. And the mighty 300 The 338 will always be near my favorite though.

For me it would be .257 Roberts and .30-06. Though not original I've had a 1950's vintage .30-06 rebored to .35 Whelen, it has been my whitetail rifle for more than 35 years. Don't know why Winchester never offered a .35 Whelen.

I like it when Scotty posts pictures of his great shooting rifles. They say a picture is worth a 1,000 words. 30-06: 338 WIN MAG: I really like my 270 featherweight though. Made the same year as my 30-06 fwt (1956). Haven't even worked up a load in that rifle though. So that shows you I lean more toward the 30-06. Been shooting it since I was 12, so I may be a bit biased.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

for me..270 win and 300 H&H Same here, for everyday hunting. If I was a collector I'd be after a nice 375 and 458!

That would be a great combo. I always wanted a 300, or 338. I bought my first pre64 in 30-06, to do everything. I have 3 pre64's, all 06's. So I guess you can say I'm stuck in a rut.

I was thinking you were going to say 30-06. Not a dang thing wrong with that. If you ever go elk hunting, just load it with 200gr Nosler partitions, and you'll think you hit them with a 338wm.

I do love my one and only, a 1955 fwt in 243. However I think the two favorite/coolest are the 22 hornet, and the 300 win mag.

Handwerk: My first "collected" pre-64 Model 70 Winchester was in the super-cool and nifty 22 Hornet chambering! My second favorite caliber is the 257 Roberts. And tied for third are the 375 H&H Magnum and 220 Swift. Long live the Riflemans Rifle. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

.30-06 and .30 GOV'T .06.

There are several I am partial to, but the .375 and .270 take the blue ribbons.
