4 gun centerfire battery, you pick them??

Mine is:
22LR
243 Win w/ 103eld-x
270 WSM w/ 140 VLD Classic or 143 ELD-X
30 Nosler w/ 215 Berger hybrid

For me pretty much fills the gaps. I had a lot more rifles in the line up but decided to focus on these for precision shooting
 
5/7 FN ammo for my PS90 (But I love my Ruger 96/22 shooting .22 magnum rounds.)
5.56 NATO
6.5 Creedmoor
.300 Win. mag.

Yeah, for Kodiak and polar bears I'd want something in .338 magnum but the likelihood of those hunts is, for me, very unlikely.

Uf-Da only four???
The latest favorites
#1 223(55spbt) out of CZ 527 for small critters.
#2 6.5 Grendel (100eldx) out of CZ527 from ground squirrels to antelope.
#3 6.5x55 Sweede (143eldx) out of a Tikka for antelope and deer.
#4 30-06 (168Amax) out of a Tikka ultra lite for antelope ,deer and elk.
 
.223 - General everything less than deer
243/6mm- everything through deer
300WM- Pretty much everything at reasonable ranges
44Mag/458SOCOM/35Whelen-ish - Larger caliber to hit big things harder at closer ranges with bigger holes.
 
Out of what I own (bolt guns)
- 223 Tikka T3 Lite (would like to replace stock, bottom metal for higher capacity mags and barrel someday)
- 6 Creedmoor (being built, Defience action, carbon six bbl, McMillan stock)
- 6.5x284 Cooper Jackson Hunter Long Range
- 30-30 Winchester 94 Lever Action. (Would like to replace with either a 300 Win Mag or a 300 WSM someday)
 
Don't need four different guns, just 4 barrels. All fit on the Blaser R93 Pro so I'm using the same stock and action . . . have to cut my list down to .22 Hornet, 6.5x55, 300WinMag and 9,3x62 ;)

My other barrels didn't make the cut: .223, .243, 30-06 . . . and of course 28 Guage, lol.
 
I'd go

Light .223 Rem 22" 1:8 - utility and fur - Tikka t3 7lbs scoped

Heavy 6mm CM 26" 1:8 MTU - varmint and target - R700SA ~14lbs scoped

Light .358 Win 18" 1:12 - Woods and bush - BLR stainless take down 6.75lbs with a mini RDS (currently a .308win, will be rebored at some point. A good black .308 would work too, I just prefer something lighter weight these days)

Wildcard? I can get by pretty well with those three. Rather keep 1 in the bank, but if that's considered cheating a M70 extreme weather in 300 WSM would do the trick
