How about a .300 WBY and a .260 Rem? Nice combination as well.

Remington Model Seven KS...20" barrel.. .350 Remington Magnum....would handle most of the hunting I do. Only change I would make would be the gun would be blackened stainless like the Custom Shop used to do with the Model Seven AWR.
As a second gun I would want something flat shooting out past 300. For that it would be a Remington 700 CDL stainless fluted in .257 Weatherby Magnum. 26" barrel but would take the wood stock off and a Ti or other good quality composite stock for all-weather performance.
This would take care of any hunting I do from varmints to bear on the North American continent. If Africa was on tap I would probably go to a Model 700 Custom Shop .375 H&H for a heavy rifle in place of the light weight .350.

Hard to argue with those choices.

That suggestion has gotta be near perfect. The .338-06 probably thumps a tiny bit too much for my bionic shoulder, so I'd replace it with the .338 Fed and get just about the same utilty.

What could be a sadder way to end a life than to die having never hunted with great dogs, good friends and your family?

Personally I would stick to a 270 Win and a 375H&H.
I often wonder if I should sell all but these 2 and take a Teddy Roosevelt style safari someday. Seriously, why do I have so many centerfires between 6mm Rem and 450 Marlin all with Leupys???

6.5x55 Swede

9.3x64 Bernnenke
both in nice sport Mauser rifles

2. Technology makes things cheaper, easier, and less labor intensive, but not necessarily better.

There are just so many choices that would work just fine.
I suppose I would be satisfied with a .308 and a .300win.
.....or a .270 and a .338.
....or a 6mm rem and a 30-06...
in the end, it really does not make much difference.
