I use a 7mm RM for practically everything, and have never had a problem with dropping animals or finding several choices in ammo. If I was hunting high country and long shots were needed it would be the 338 Lapua, but for every day, all around reliable shooting its the 7mm.

30-06, even though I've never owned one I shot. my wife and kids bought me one for a present 'cause they knew I wanted the action, I brought it in to be rebarreled without ever firing it.

Hmmmm.....

Only ONE rifle??? That would sure be a shame....  :'(

But If I had to stick with ONE, for everything....perhaps the .308. I can kill anything you guys with your '06 can kill  :P (this should get 'it' going!), and find NATO ammo in almost every country.

But I'd hate to leave the 'Ol 300 mag behind.  :chuckle:
A long term survival rifle? The .22 lr as said above. I can ALMOST kill anything you guys with the '06 can kill!   :P (ok, maybe I'm stretching it, but so is this thread!!).
I can't imagine owning only one.

What did you shoot your sheep with? ;)

I shot my sheep with a 7mm Remington Magnum.

As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

ya the 30-06 is the most versatile gun on the planet. I would wager to say that you could kill anything with it and i mean anything.

Mines for sale....LOL  :hunt2:

RUGER M77 MKII.....30-06, stainless with featherweight stock with drop out floor plate (VERY NICE OPTION).
