Three would be easy. .223 in a medium heavy vaminter. .30-06 Model 70. .375 H&H Model 70<p>With 4 you could specialize the calibers a bit but keep general purpose rifles. Same .223 Moderate lightweight .270 bolt, say about 7 1/2 lbs all up with scope. Sporter .338 Win Mag., say about 8 1/2 lbs. .416 Rem. Mag.<p>With five, you could specialize the rifles some. Same .223 Heavy barrel .22-250 or .243 Featherweight 7mm-08, about 6 lbs all up with scope. Bolt action .300 Mag of some flavor. Bolt action .416 or .458.<p>With six...HEY, WAIT JUST A DOGGONE MINUTE! I recognize this slippery slope. If I recall, this line of thinking is how I got to where I am now...

You see in this world, there's two kinds of people my friend; those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig.

3 maybe 4 rifles for all needs. How about a T/C Encore in .250 Savage, a Bolt 30-06 with 180 gr Partition Handloads, a Lever Gun in .358 Win. That would cover them all but I feel I should add a Guide Gun in 45/70 to my list. Quite a bit of overlap in that list but redundancy is a good thing I think. Of course I to feel that a 12 gauge pump is necessary. As well as a couple of handguns. Sean

Too hard to keep just 3. Lord knows I've tried.
<br>
<br>how about: .223 AR-15 match gun with shorty upper too. For targets, varmints, hey it even makes a good squirrel rifle.
<br>
<br>medium game....could do it all with a 30-06. Need to have a couple of action styles...m98 Mauser and a Rem pump
<br>
<br>Large game......338 bolt gun hands down.
<br>
<br>Brush gun.......35 or 45/70 lever and a #5 Lee-enfield, maybe sportered and rechambered to .303 Epps to do the wildcat thing.
<br>
<br>I could make it with those. Plus a good .22 and a 12 gauge Ithaca m37.

What a question! And one that gets asked about every full moon! LOL! Asked this question on another site not long ago myself. Keep in mind that I am obsessive compulsive and like for things to match! Here goes:
<br>
<br>A Howa 1500 in .30-06
<br>A Howa 1500 in .338 Win Mag.
<br>
<br>Now, if you are of a metric bent, how about:
<br>
<br>CZ 550 in 7x57mm
<br>CZ 550 in 9.3x62mm

Hey, Own Drummer and Sibelius.... good to see you here, thought I'd come over for a look see. The other site was getting too cranky for me! Anyway, here's my answer to this one:
<br>
<br>6.5 x 55mm Swede (Ruger 77 or Win 70 F/W)
<br>.30-06 (Win Model 70)
<br>.338 Win Mag (Ruger 77 or Browning A-bolt)
<br>
<br>That'd do it for me, but I wouldn't be happy with just three! Regards, N.L. (from balmy B.C.)

Hi OWN DRUMMER . . . now, admit it, wouldn't you LOVE to have a matching set of, maybe Weatherbys, in various chamberings? Maybe a set of Sakos?
<br>
<br>I wanted to build on Tikka, but got thrown off with my Howa. So much for my plans!
<br>
<br>You need to check out my info from Tikka on Shooters.com.

Hi NLOGAN . . . from what I see, some of them need your professional touch. One or two need to be incarcerated if they go too far north! LOL!
<br>
<br>Gee, one thread was limiting us to one! From what Tikka said to me, sounds like the 6.5x55mm SE may be the best choice.
