375 H&H (x2)
44 Rem Mag (Ruger 96/44 - a favorite)
45-70 (x7 - 4 Marlins, 2 Ruger No.1s and an NEF)all-time favorite. My number one go-to rifle for big game)

45-70 Improved (Ruger No.1 long throated; equals a 458 Win. Used in bear and moose hunting)

458 Win Mag (x2)
And a 12-gauge of course (how many, I can't remember)

After 50+ years of hunting, I'm inclined more and more to Big Bores for all big game.

I am really boring, been hunting for 50 years.
All I have use is.

222 and 270 until about 3 years ago I bought a 338.
Have not seen the need for any thing else.
