What 2-3 calibers would you pick?

[FLS]

223 for varmints and targets
30-06 for everything else

Just curious what 2-3 calibers you guys would pick to hunt everything from moose/elk/bear down to deer/antelope and then down to cougars/coyotes?

Bonus: what guns would you select. Seems like most here are high on tikkas

7mm, .270, .243.

 

[TxxAgg]

If I had to pick 2, I'd probably pick .243 and 30-06

I vote for 4, though

.22lr
.223
6.5cm
30-06

(Shout out to 30-30, 7mm-08, and .308)

Food for thought....

And dessert....

 

[7mmremmag]

12 gauge, 6.5 Creed, 300 Ultra Mag

 

[Bbell12]

.223
260 Rem
375 H&H

Only because those are the 3 rifles I own.

Kimber Montana 223
Barrett 6.5 creedmoor
Barrett 30-06

Live in the northeast and we mostly hunt deer (rifles not allowed) and black bears; and moose are going extinct up here, so right now it's...

22 LR - Ruger 10/22 - small stuff
6.5 creedmoor - Tikka T3x Lite - medium stuff
.35 Rem - Marlin 336 - slower moving medium stuff

Would be pretty interested in a Sako in .30-06 or .300 wm to round out the collection and maybe a 22-250 or .223 critter gun

Honorable mention to my Benelli M2 12 ga and my TC Omega .50 cal muzzy

 

[chindits]

.22
12 ga
300 wm or 7rm

I’d sure miss my ML

 

[rlmmarine]

Ruger 10/22
Tikka T3 30.06
Remington 870 12 guage

Thats the most practical answer yet for most hunting in north america unless your going after a grizz that includes 15k and in that case who cares about buying another rifle

7mm-Do it all caliber.
300 win-great for large game.
30-06: Great for any size animal within 400 yds. Ammo is very affordable.

 

[Shraggs]

If only three:

223 in RRA 20” coyote rifle and jp trigger springs

358 win in BLR, loaded right a thumber for anything big or smaller to 300 yds

7mm RM in Ruger 1 in 26” barrels for longer

 

[Touchdown88]

Here's my list:
6mm Ackley with a barrel that PO installed himself.
7mm Rem Mag Interarms Mark X
375 H&H Whitworth Safari Express

 

[thedude74]

243 win(more versatile than 22-250)
338 rum (like a 338 win with a bit more reach)
375 Ruger at 6.5 lbs(built my own on a Howa1500/bansner stock) it's nice to carry ....not as much so to shoot.

For my second, third choice(huh?) An AR 15
For my third, 3rd choice a 12 gauge


Probably a big revolver or two and a 45-70 lever gun.

Praise the lord we dont have to choose just 3
