I'll play:

My three cartridges would be:
.223
.308
.375 H&H magnum

3 rifle would be:
AR15 w/ flattop & detachable carry handle
Steyr Scout in .308
.375 in Bolt action w/ controll feed claw extractor any 98k clone.


Why:

.223 feeds the "Poodle shooter" and can be used on varmints and hostile 2 leggers.

.308 in scout concept good all purpose rifle.

.375 will kill anything in the world and the Nasty North American Stuff that the .308 can't handle

[litman252]

.223, Savage med. weight barrel bolt action, good enough to get the job done.

.25-06 Custom built bolt on a '98 action, around 7 pounds with scope. Can do most hunting, up to the big stuff.

.375H&H Mod. 70 light bullets good for elk and bear, heavy bullets go the distance on the big animals.

Have you ever noticed how Andy Rooney will start talking on and on about a subject that has absolutely nothing to do with what's been discussed on 60 Minutes that week and that absolutely no one cares about? And I really like Jell-O, too.....




:D

[iamkris]

Magnum 88c and seekertwo got it right

22 LR
308
45-70

I'd probably do a boltgun for the 22...maybe that new Remington 504. FAL would do it for the 308. Tossup between a lever action and a Sharps for the 45-70

[FirstFreedom]

Although I'm not sure exactly what the question used to be, I'll play....

1. 22lr
2. 260 rem or .257 Robts
3. .338-'06

If I could have 4, then
1. .22lr
2. .223 rem
3. .308 win
4. .375 H&H mag

If I could have 5, then
1. .22lr
2. .223 rem
3. 7mm-08
4. .338 WinMag or .35 Whelen
5. .45-70 Gov't

This is fun - filling in gaps closer and closer....I could keep on going...

I deleted my original text.
I was out in the garage looking at 3 that I've been working on, 2 unfired.
It struck me that they were very different, but great rifles in their own right.

1. ArmaLite AR10 Special Edition in .308 - unfired.
2. Remington 700 BDL in .375 Ultra Mag - unfired.
3. Marlin 1895 in .45-70 - fired less than 50 rounds.

An autoloader.
A bolt-action.
A lever-action.

3 rifles. 3 cartridges. 3 different platforms. :D
I need to get out and shoot 'em!

[Art Eatman]

A bolt-action .22 with a decent trigger and set up to be close in size to one's pet hunting rifle is one great way to maintain eye-finger coordination. Lots of fun; low cost. Plus, good for just-plinking and "little-pests".

I like a .243 as a varmint and smallish-deer combination. No recoil, and really accurate. Lots of devastating handloads available...

For serious work, I still like the old '06. It's a handloader's dream. You can shoot most anything from a round lead ball on up to 220-grain bullets.

Lots of other good cartridges out there, of course, but I keep coming back to these as my pets.

Marlin 1894 357 mag (I'm cleaning it right now btw) - since I've got a revolver to go with it.

Ruger Mini 14 .223 3-9x40 scope for critters and SHTF

FAL scoped with ACOG and unlimited supply 155gr Palma. :) Longer range better smack down.

Do I need anything else? A Ruger Single Six for anything else.
