[QUOTE="Tevisv, post: 3023434, member: 71768"] 12 gauge - gives me the ability to hunt birds and small game. And with slugs, can take game animals within range, as well as act as a self defense weapon in bear country. 270 win - ability to put down everything from varmints and medium sized predators (bobcats, coyotes, etc...) to just about every thin to medium skinned game animal on the planet (I know some will say to switch this with a 6.5 or 6.8 round, which is a great debate, but I just prefer the old school 270 win over its newer cousins). 308 win - I am always torn between the 308 and the 30-06. Two great, legendary rounds, but if I'm going with the 270, I don't need the legs of the 30-06. Anyways, I don't have more to add to what others have said about the 308. It is my favorite ONLY because my late grandpa, who got me into shooting, said it was his favorite. Now then, I don't really have much experience with anything beyond 308, 30-06 and 300 WM. And I haven't been out for anything larger than whitetail deer. However, I'll round out my last two selection based off a buddy that hunts all over the world. 338WM - as he put it, "The guide I have used for several Alaska trips said that is her go to gun for hunting big game in Alaska and Canada. And she takes it to Africa. More than capable on everything except for a few animals." 416 Remington - as my buddy said, "The guide I told you about said after she was introduced to the 416 Remington while hunting in Africa, she got one after getting back here. Said it is her bush gun for when she's guiding here because it will drop anything comfortably with one shot." [/QUOTE]
