what is your favorite rifle caliber?
« on: October 25, 2014, 07:11:53 PM »
Just wondering if you could only pick one rifle for bear, elk, moose, mountain goat, bighorn sheep, small game what would you pick? My personal preference is the 30-06 shooting the .165 grain Hornady Superformance. Can you say LIGHTS OUT. What's your favorite?

.270 winchester would be my first choice for up close and longer ranges. 

45/70 if range was guaranteed less than 300 yards.
