I like the 7mm. It shoots flatter than my .06 and the recoil is similar. Both are very good and ammo is everywhere.

I like the 30-06..can shoot 100 gr.s up to 220 gr.s , and handles just about all game except for the really dangerous stuff. You can buy ammo anywhere , tons of cheap surplus, use the hi energy stuff for a little more speed, and firearms for it are easy to come buy.

Yeah, a Wby., its called a 257 Wby. magnum and it would be my all around choice for North American hunting, if I had a choice of one caliber. While, truly designated a 25 caliber bullet, it actually measures exactly 6.53 mm. Capable on long distance shots with great accuracy and has the power and bullet selection to take down the biggest game on the continent. Kick is not that bad and it can be purchased in a variety of brands to suit your taste from a Vanguard on up to a Blaser. |

If forced, I'd probably be o.k. with any magnum chambering in 7mm - .338 caliber... BUT, I'd hate to know I had to go through life being forced to own only 1 rifle! |

if it comes to that i am head back west cause its hell to find a man in the mountains especially if someone who is looking for you doesnt have a clue of where they are, lots of U.N. battalions will get wiped out in the rocky mountains when it comes to that point of taking away our guns

Shot placement is key and I am not too interested in the really big and dangerous stuff anyway.
Out of the choices offered, I'd go with a 308 (however, it was a tough call between that and my 280Rem). ILya |

This is an old thread but it deserves to be reviewed just to see how fast the country is sliding backwards, considering the ammunition situation in America today.

Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.
Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow Now the rules have changed again. |

30-06 is my sentimental favorite followed closely by the .308.
Up here in Maine in all but a very few situations 500 yards is considered long range so .30 caliber has it covered pretty well. I also have a big soft spot for the .303 British and I'm growing quite fond of the 6.5x55 lately.

I am still impressed with my 280Rem.
That having been said, my new 6.5x47 is rapidly moving toward the top of the list. ILya

45-70 ~ I don't have the genetics to shoot long range.

We are so restricted on the amount of firearms we can own. So many calibres I would like to own, but if could only have one, it would be the trusty old 30-06. For what I can afford to hunt, I don't need anything else.
