Weirdly relevant question for me. I have a 300 WSM, 7 WSM (20+ yo), 270 Win, 6.5 CM, and 223 Rem. I have an old 22 lr and some shotguns. Since owning a farm allows me to deduct the costs of a rifle I'm thinking about what to buy right now- current candidates are 25 CM, 22 CM, 6.5 prc, and 7 prc... or punt until next year.
If allowed 4 based on what I've own and shot a lot? 300 WSM and 223 then a coin toss.
Based on what I've researched? 300 WSM, 7/6.5 prc, 25 CM, and 22 CM.
I am developing some brand loyalty though. I like heavy barrels. Bergara and CVA seem to offer a great product and a wide selection of medium/heavy barrels.

22 creed
6.5 prc or creed
30 nosler or prc
This is actually a great thought exercise. That seems to be about the right amount of rifles to cover everything i'm ever likely to shoot at, so why do I have all the rest of them?

What about a pistol?

Lets not make it more confusing……we already have shotguns that are "identifying" as a caliber!

22 LR
9 mm
12 Gauge
Anyone who doesn't chose those 3 is wrong, so that basically leaves you with one choice and then you have to decide if you want to hunt all big game with a .223 which is probably the best choice, argument could be made for .308, 30-06, 300WM or 6.5 Creed.

22lr, small game
9mm, for Pistol
5.56 for multiple AR's
6.5 Cm for big game
9mm and 5.56 for 2 legged varmints.
6.5 is a little light for Elk, but will do. Perfect for Deer and Pronghorn.
17HMR is a better round than 22, but more expensive and less versatile. I have a hard time leaving out 12ga, but except for bird hunting, I can use an AR more effectively. Magazine capacity and range are better.

Gee I guess we can convert ga to caliber.Lets not make it more confusing……we already have shotguns that are "identifying" as a caliber!
I always try and keep something around that matchest the Arny basic rifle they use. Where brass case can be converted to other chambers fairly easy. I guess I am going have to get another rifle to match the new rifle that the Army is using now. Just what I need, another rifle.

But that's not what he asked.
