[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1455537, member: 30902"] Think of it this way. With a .260, 7mm mag, and either a .338wm, .375H&H, or my favorite the .375 Ruger you would have a battery of guns more than adequate for everything on the planet from prairie dogs to elephant and with the 6.5 in .260, 6.5L, or 6.5CM you'd have two of the three that the girls could shoot just fine without much worry about recoil. Some of us here are just nuts and have a ridiculous number of rifles including myself but I could easily whittle the collection down to just three, a .220 Swift or .204 Ruger, one of the 7's or 300's and one of the .375's and never find myself over or undergunned for any hunting situation I could ever find myself in. Having so many different calibers as I do just buying all of the reloading equipment necessary has added up to thousands and the time requirements not to mention expense of working up loads for fifteen plus different rifles gets pretty steep. Even just cutting down to the Swift, one of the .260's, one of the STW's, and one of the 375's would be more than adequate. [/QUOTE]
