No Elk around here in Northern New Hampshire just Black Bear and Moos so I am happy with my Marlin 336 in 35 Remington (not REMLIN) .308 bolt action and 12 gauge pump with slugs of course.

Which three must have calibers based on current bullet selection, not necessarily cartridges. For medium to large game if you only had three choices. List in order from most important to least important as if you would have to narrow down to only owning the first listed.

Sorry for the edit, but say up to elk for large game.

25-06,270(1)
270wsm,280,280ai(2)
300wsm,300wm
And just be sad

I live in Newfoundland Canada where we get moose and bears tags on a regular basis if you want to hunt different areas...the only rifle I ever use and would ever use is the 270 win and 270 wsm...I have harvested a fair share of animals and this calibre has never failed me yet, so you guys can fool around with all your different calibres, but in my opinion it never failed me and I have shot em out to 800 yes, no problem

The order of these really depends, but I know I can take any large game with a .338 in one cartridge or another, using one of two cartridges, at pretty much any distance, and I can also take smaller game with it, so it is number one. I could also flip the bottom two around and not lose any sleep, but my gut tells me that I'd rather have the 6.5 as number one, rather than the 7mm, if I had to choose a different number one from this list.

6.5 mm
