[QUOTE="UplandFreak, post: 1861756, member: 111854"] Here is the other influence that could come into play with the “do all” rifle: what is it doing the most? I spend way more time and energy chasing coyotes and shooting varmints than I do big game hunting. I still go out and chase elk and deer and black bears every year, and am looking forward to an alaskan moose hunt. But for me, I will take a nice 6.5x284 or PRC because I am using it every week for coyotes and rock chucks and the couple weeks a year I get out after bigger critters I know it can still get the job done. If all I did was chase big bears, it would probably be a 338 Norma or 375 Ruger. We are all a product of our environments :) Thats also probably the idaho redneck in me that grew up with grandpa and uncles killing everything from grizz to elk to moose with 270’s...lol. It was never engrained in me that you need a cannon to kill stuff🤪 [/QUOTE]
