[QUOTE="sedancowboy, post: 2323896, member: 85874"] Steve I have rifles chambered in most of the Cartridges you mentioned. 6 Creed, 6.5 Creed, 6.5 SAUM, 270 WSM. The reason I have several rifles is one they are my passion and two is I believe in using the proper tool for the job at hand. Having a universal rifle is like having a 12" Adjustable wrench and saying you have a full set of tools. In my humble opinion you need a small caliber varmint rifle. A medium game rifle, where I live includes wolves, coyotes, antelope, and deer. A large game rifle for elk, bear, moose and other large animals. For Griz I care a sidearm and a 45-70 or my favorite mainly because it is so handy a 450 Marlin in a Winchester 94. Rifles in whatever cartridge you choose will only do one thing well. To me hunting and target shooting is completely different and require two different types of rifles. If I had to only have one of the above rifles it would be the 270 WSM 1/8 twist 26" barrel. Because I live in a area with Elk. In the absence of Elk or other large game I would defiantly go with the 6.5 SAUM. [/QUOTE]
