[QUOTE="jtmoose, post: 1156167, member: 87081"] I just started hunting deer, Elk, and bear; have a small budget; and an almost empty safe after selling some things I never used or was the wrong tool for the jobs I needed it for. From what i gather, no one rifle will do it all so I'm developing ing my acquisition plan rather than buy, regret, buy, regret, but, trade, etc... I was hoping I could get some experienced enthusiasts to provide some lessons learned along your journey of creating a battery of arms. For example, I had a 7-08 but could never find ammo locally. Lesson learned was professionals talk logistics. another lesson I learned was that stainless actions are desirable in the PNW and a heavy gun sucks in the mountains. What are some of the lessons you've learned over the years and what rifles, cartridges, etc. would you recommend if you had to do it all over? What is the lowest number of guns you could get by with?
