Only two chamberings come to mind to fit your criteria when is 30 ought six and the other 7 mm magnum they can be loaded from everything to light varmint shooting all the way out to have a game so that's my answer to your question the white part of your criteria can be overcome by light white poly stock on anyone's Rifle unless it's a custom job with a heavy fat barrelA subject that has been "beaten to death..... with many side-stepping the thread intent. Some choosing custom or full "wildcat" chamberings, some picking rifle/cartridge combo's with impractical weight for everyday, various terrain use by "normal" humans, factory ammunition must be available, potentially needed as a stopping cartridge. So, here's the criteria for the challenge.
Rifle/Cartridge must meet this criteria: only one rifle allowed
#1 - used for all North American Big Game (including dangerous game - assuming no back-up)
#2 - rifle weight - under 11.0 pounds (scoped, fully loaded, slung)
#3 - If a bipod is used - total rifle weight cannot exceed 11.0 pounds (scoped, fully loaded, slung, and bipod)
additional
points for combo's coming in at less than 9.0 pounds
#4 - factory cartridge - (improved chambering allowed) must be able to fire a factory cartridge
#5 - various terrain - thick timber/brush to hunting elk, sheep or goats in the mountains, to wide open western plains
#6 - cartridge....bullet weight, bullet (cup-core, partition, mono) design (based upon a potential mixed bag hunt in "big" bear country - no back-up) and brief explanation for your choice
I hope I haven't missed anything!
This should give you something to think about while sequestered at home! So.....what's your "poison"? memtb
My answer to your question is 30 ought six or 7 mm rim EGW they can be loaded to take a variety of small game and big game depending upon what you'd like to do with it if you're fortunate enough to reload you can really put it to useA subject that has been "beaten to death..... with many side-stepping the thread intent.
