In my years guiding, I was always happier to see a hunter come into camp with a beat up .270, .30-06 or some rifle/caliber that they had spent a lot of time with and were very good friends. The hunters that came into camp with their brand new, shiny, super whiz bang rifles/caliber kings made me say, "Oh boy. Here we go again!"
Now when someone asks me how many rifles I need, the answer is always, "just one more." I have followed that philosophy and might have more than one rifle in my go to caliber, the .300 Win Mag. However, even with more than one .300 WM, I always seem to grab my Cooper as I've gotten so comfortable with it that it seems like everything that I point at just falls over.
Pick the rifle that fits you the best in the caliber that you want and get out there and shoot it and then shoot it some more and go tip something over and make it leak!
