[QUOTE="SavageHunter11, post: 1726947, member: 100006"] For medium to large game? I don't really need three calibers probably only two but if I have to pick 3 I'd pick: .264/6.5mm short action: Antilope to Whitetail 7mm or 308 Long action or magnum: Whitetail, Muley, Elk, Black bear .338: Elk, carribou, moose, brown and grizzly bear Personally I think a 7mm in the 280 Ackley Improved is about as close to a universal North American round as you can get with the exception of bigger bears and moose but the Europeans have been shooting moose with 6.5x55 swedes for longer than I've been alive and I would probably shoot a moose with 280 Ackley if push came to shove and I had no better option.
