What caliber to add?

[mww982]

Someone I know may be purchasing a new rifle (bolt action) for me and was asking what caliber I wanted for hunting. The current calibers I own are .223 rem. (practice and coyote gun), 7mm-08 (deer rifle), and .300-win mag (Elk gun). If you were to add another caliber, what would you add, especially if you want to shoot it suppressed and as a mountain rifle? I'm thinking 7mm PRC. I don't handload, so having factory ammo options is a must.

If I was getting a new 7mm I would get backcountry with 18-20” barrel

You have a decent spread there. My vote would be something in a 6 probably. 6 creed or 6 ARC

 

[The Harbor Master]

You're missing a 6mm or .25

 

[SuperDUECE22]

6mm

 

[NRA4LIFE]

.243

 

[wildwilderness]

6.5 prc has good options for what you are looking for

 

[2muchhp]

Yeah, you need a 1/4 bore...me too

6 Creed or 243 or 6ARC maybe? That's what's next for me. A 6 CM most likely.

204 ruger. I'm thinking hard about one for a varmint gun.
