[QUOTE="Bigdog425, post: 2068681, member: 8928"] Seems a (North American) “do all rifle” would include bear, moose, goat, sheep. Regardless of exact range, other than Jackie O, most people don’t hunt all game equally. Hence, buying a goat/sheep and/or elk/moose capable gun that will shoot 90% deer/antelope will result in a gun with broad capability that will be not optimized or pleasant for 90% of its use. If bear/elk and esp moose are rare usage, a 6.5 to 270 provides sufficient flat power and can take elk. Analogously, buying a “do all” car that will be driven 90% of the time for short distances with no cargo, could result in a guy driving a 4x4 Sprinter van to pick up some eggs and milk. Seems 2-3 guns needed to “do all” well and enjoyably...but then again, 10-20 guns can accomplish that even better 🙂 Best of luck in whatever you choose and happy hunting in a better 2021.
