The most basic battery for me is:
* .22LR bolt or semi (10/22) for pests, small game
* .30-06 bolt with scope (Sako A7), with handloading especially it can handle a wide range of game (or a .270, .280)
Optional, nice to have:
* .223 For fur hunting the .223 in an AR15 would be handy and fun. But a bolt action like the Tikka T3 would be great as well. Very popular for coyotes here.
ETA: keeping it to just rifles and for Pacific NW where I am located.
