[QUOTE="Porker, post: 970694, member: 22907"] I think there are many of us who, if brutally honest with ourselves, have spent a small fortune on rifles over the years... many we look back on that we know we would never buy today. And many of those rifles are not being used that often anymore ... or just plain gathering dust in the safe. if we had no option , we would make good with one or two ... If I had to choose 1 rifle for everything, it would have to be a medium bore ... the 338 WM, custom made to ensure recoil is tolerable, with 200/210g for medium game and the larger pills for everything bigger ... but if you gave me 2 it has to be the 6.5x55 or 260, what better caliber for varmints (85g Sierra) and general hunting (140 Noslers)? If i could think of only one really good benefit of multiple ownership , it's probably that the firearm industry needs it, or it would not be in a position to supply us with the latest in rifles/ammunition and other goodies through continuous R&D. Not sure what % of the US population is owners, but in SA and Australia it's much less. Where would Ruger/Winchester/Remington be if we had only one rifle each? [/QUOTE]
