Pretty much got it narrowed down to 223, 243, 308, 444 marlin. Dont need anything else for how i hunt. And honestly could probably make do without the 243, but dont want to.
I have killed deer with the .243, .270, and .45-70 and Caribou with the .270. My primary hunting rifle is a .270 but I have a few rifles I'm going to get into the rotation for whitetails. Primarily a Win 94BB in .375 Win and a Ruger No. 1 in .375H&H (I'll load that with cast for .375 Win/.38-55 levels). I'm also going to add a muzzleloader so I can hunt my primary hunting grounds without having to go to state land.
