The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - my pick for 3 rifles if I was forced to choose

For any reason I could own only 3 hunting rifles this is what I would keep.
1-22 long rifle. This would be the most difficult in terms of action type, just not sure which one. Lever action is my favorite but bolt is my most accurate.
2-25-06 Browning A bolt stalker. Sufficent for all medium game and its my second favorite cartridge. My third choice created my second by leaving no room for my favorite the 22-250.
3- 300 Winchester magnum. Mine is a winchester classic. Just like the 22 LR there has to be a 30 in my choices and this one covers all the range of bullet choices very well.

Now I hope for 2 things. First that my wife never reads this and second that everyone respects others choices.
