My hunting guns run from 35 Whelen to 9.3x62, my fun guns are 416 Rigby and Ruger, my plinker is a 8x57. Big bullets with SD's that begin with 3 at moderate speeds kill effectively and quickly. I have no desire to own a small bore rifle like a 30 cal., but I would never say that there is no need for those types of guns.
