Mags. Good on you having a sense of humor!
Henry lever action is on my list also, if you can find one remington nylons are awesome. Mine probably has 10,000 rounds down it (guess).
Going to refurb. It this winter.

in a hurry and didn't read all the posts, so might be doubling up here...

The 06' is just fine for lope. Shoot a barnes and it will poke a nice little hole through and kill it where it stands... you wont blow nuthin up. It'll also work fantastically for coyotes... bear... moose... elk... deer... Prairie dogs... You can shoot 55 grains up to 220... but there really isn't any reason to shoot anything other than the 168 grain Barnes TSX.

 :IBCOOL:

Was basically going to say the same....wide choice of bullet weights....Barnes as well. :tup:

6.5 x 55 and there's no need for a second rifle.

A .223 and a 5.56!  :chuckle:
Just kidding, I'd say a .220 Swift or .243Win and a .375 H&H.

7 short mag in a 7# finished rifle

Then a 270 ultra in a 12ish # finished rifle

Which is the coyote gun?  :o

Depends on where the yotes where at....something tells me I wouldn't mind using the 270ultra  with a pretty light bullet  :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

Keep the 06, ammo avalible everywhere in case things go south.
As for 2 calibres to cover all 48 states I'd go with 25-06 and. 338.
Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me

I may not have alot but what I have I got honest.....

I'd rather be hated for what I am then be loved for what I'm not

Is it me, or are people getting dumber

Wouldn't want to be the wacko with an arsenal that lives in the city. :chuckle: But hey how big do those squirrels you hunt in the city park get? I'm thinking you only need a Red Rider for the bottom end, and a Crossman pump for the top end!  ;)
