I wasn't forced to choose I did in voluntarily, and it wasn't 3 it was 2:
- Homebrew 10/22 with a 16.5" GM sporter barrel. - Homebrew Savage 110, .243 with an 18.5" McGowan sporter barrel. Done. |

3 for anything and everything:
1. Stainless 77/22 in .22 WMR. It will do everything .22LR will and more. The reverse is not true. 2. Stainless tang safety M77 in .30-06. The reasoning there should be obvious. 3. Stainless 700 in .375 H&H. For anything that the .30-06 is a little light in the loafers for comfort on. You know, brown bears and cape buffalo and the like.

I all ready only have 3 Calibers so I guess that works for me.
1. 22LR for small game 2. 357 magnum Carbine for Small game up to Deer (yes I use it frequently on Idaho mule deer) 3. 45-70. For tings bigger than deer. Where I live its very dense forest. A long shot is 75 yards.

It's still amazing that the 30-06 still holds its place in all-a-round best choice if I could only have a few rifles, or even one.
It was not in my choices considering three but if it was only two I could have my three choices change to 22LR bolt action and a 30-06 model 700. |
