ThisI would get 2 tikkas. Probably super lights. 1 in 300wm, the other in 243. Top both with leupold capped turrets and call it a day.
I’m going the same route. Headed for two stainless Tikka T3x’s. One in 6.5 creedmoor and the other in .300wsm. Currently have the creedmoor and love it. Just need to pull the trigger on the bigger caliber. I’ll be getting a brake put on the .300.
Montana Rilfe Co X3 in 33 Nosler or WM and use it for everything. Put a muzzle brake on it if you’re recoil sensitive.
Montana X3 are pretty light. Right at 7lbs configures in those calibers with a brake. If that’s considered a boat anchor people must be getting pretty weak these days. I’ve packed my Weatherby 338-378 up mountains on multiple hunts now and it’s a fair bit heavier than an X3. Sheep, goat, etc. I’m fact, that’s what I’m packing in my profile pic.OP wasn't asking for advice on his next boat anchor, he was asking for two rifle calibers that would cover all NA game.

Ahhh, I have a V2 in 375 H&H I Kant had reamed to Weatherby and it’s been a pretty solid rifle. Very accurate, feeds great, great trigger and so on. I’ve heard people complain about them, though.No, I'm saying a boat anchor is about all I'd use a MRC product for.
I had to look that phrase up. Not too much cotton up here in Canada haha.If Tikka ever makes a 6CM you’re shitting in high cotton.
I was thinking about that exact set up, but I got such a good deal on this package that I couldn’t pass it up. Now I’m thinking about a Tikka .243 for everything else. I’m probably gonna put a Leopold VX5 on top of this one.Tikka 6.5 CM
Tikka .300 WM
Anything but Vortex on top. LOL
