First off I dont know if you can have to many guns.

However, and yes I am a Peckerwood with to many guns living in the hills, if i had to pick a minimum of four this is what i would pick.

1) .22 Mag in a Ruger 10/22 platform - yes they are spendy but they are very, very effective out to 300 yards.

2) 25 -06 or a 6.5 Creedmore or Norma.

3) A .300 Win Mag in just about any thing that will be fed that round. Yes I am very partial to the .300 Win Mag.

4) IF I was to ever hunt bison or huge trophy bear and my .300 could not be used I would probably look at a .458 Lott.


This would be my list but for everything I have ever hunted I have used my .300 Win Mag. From deer to moose and everything in between. I have taken black bear, cougar, and a wolf with this and all died where shot. The moose took 2 shots to put down but the second was not really needed. I believe bullet choice and shot placement are key to hunting. Not really bullet diameter.

And if I could toss in a fifth rifle it would be a Ruger Scout in .308 just because they are such sweet handling rifles.
