If you were limited to a single rifle/caliber, what would it be?

We've all heard this discussion many times at the range and at hunting camp.

Assuming you could reload for your choice, what rifle/caliber combination would you choose if you had to live with that choice forever?

My choice would have to be a 7mm Rem Mag, since it has a good trajectory for moderate long range shooting, can be loaded with lighter bullets for varmints and heavier bullets for big game here in North America. I'd wish for a heavier bullet with more frontal area for some hunting situations, but the 7RM would be my choice.

I'd put it in a Rem 700 DM with a 26" hunting taper and a composite stock. For all around hunting I'd probably go with a 4.5x14x40mm Leupold, only because Nightforce doesn't make an objective in the NXS that is smaller than 50mm.

It wouldn't be fun just having one; and this would be a hard decision, but thats what I would choose.

What would you choose and why?

Don
