The general purpose rifle

[Pulleye16]

IMO, no way are magnums (Especially 300 WinMag) "general purpose." While I agree, they KILL every NA big game animal, it's not your buy one-and-only gun.

IMO, 223, (270), 308, and 30-06 are "general purpose" guns. But that's just me. I can almost guaranteed, most all hunters have (or had) one of these.

(now I'll see posts from the three people who don't) LOL

Magnums are obsolete for general use hunting rifles. I will get attacked for saying this because people are incapable of adapting and embracing change but with modern bullets it's true. People are entitled to shoot whatever they want. Its a free country. However there is no defensible or logical reason to hunt North American big game with a huge magnum other than just admitting that you want to.
