.25, .30 and .35?
.257 Roberts, Ruger M77 - Easily my favorite rifle and one my girls love to shoot as well.
.300 Blackout, S&W M&P15 .30-30, Marlin 336CS .30-06, Ruger M77, Ruger MKII, Remington M700 .300WM, Ruger MKII
9mm Luger, Browning BDM, my daily carry pistol .357 Magnum, Ruger Blackhawk
.35 rifle? Nope, have a Ruger MKII .338WM and that’s good/close enough.
Coyote Hunter - NRA Patriot Life, NRA Whittington Center Life, GOA, DAD - and I VOTE!
No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

I feel terrible. 25's: 250-3000, 257 Bob, 25-05 30's: 30-30, 308 Win., 30-06, 300 Wby 35's: NONE I'll get right on it, Sir. (.338 & 375 tho...) Would a T/C 35 Rem count?
Why does a man who is 50 pounds overweight complain about a 10 pound rifle being too heavy? SCI Life Member 4**

The closest I get on the"low end" is the .260 so I guess I'm out 30-30, .308, and 300wsm cover the 30s .35 Rem. and 35 Whelan (both 7600s) George

.257 Roberts in a Mauser (Need to work on getting it refinished) .308 and .300 Win Mag A-Bolts .35 Whelen Mauser and a R77 Boat Paddle
.308 and the Mauser .35 see the most action. Bought the .35 as a "beater" and fell in love with it.
Have a Flaigs custom in .375 H&H that was willed to me by a former boss. The Fajen stock it was in was broken, so it temporarily resides in a 798 stock until I can afford an appropriate walnut stock for it. Shot one Pa whitetail with it "just because"....

As far as the 25's. My favorite is my old .25-06.. Have a .250 Savage, but only keep it because it was my father in laws..
Lots of .30's from the old .30-30 thought the 300 Wea.
No 35 but have both a .340 and .375 H & H>..
