[QUOTE="winmag, post: 764431, member: 22166"] So I know there are literally no right or wrong answers, but I thought it'd be fun to see what everyone's opinion was. Now, I live & hunt "out west", & my opinion will differ greatly than someone hunting whitetail over a food plot or from a tree or box, but here are my 10 favorite. Smallest to largest: 1-22lr varmints like sage rats etc 2-223 for bigger varmints a bit farther away like coyotes etc. 3-243 varmint/antelope & deer cross over cartridge. Kids first "big" rifle. 4-30-30 not particularly awesome in any category, but still a classic cowboy cartrige that is fun to shoot, & can get er done on most critters at reasonable ranges. 5- 308 great ladies or kids all round cartridge 6- 270 North American all round cartridge with light recoil {I'm partial to the WSM} 7- 30-06 North American all round cartridge with more bullet selection. All time classic. 8- 300mag (take your pick) I prefer Win Mag, or WSM, but am fond of Wby too. Best all round caliber ever. Period. Ya I'm opinionated. But, I'm right too.:D 9- 338 (again pick one){I prefer Win Mag version} but depending on chambering, its today's "go to" LR (caliber) to which all others are compared. And it's plenty of medicine at most any range for anything in Anything on North America with Strong constitution, or a mean streak. 10- 375 (H&H, Wby,what ever, take your pick) {im an ol' H&H fan}everything else including Africa So what are your favorites?
