Favorite do-all rifle

[Johnnypaycheck]

If you had to dig in your safe and pick out only one do-all rifle you had to use the rest of your life what would you be grabbing and why? mine would be my old savage 99e lever action .308, its accurate and .308 ammo is typically easy to find. Strong second would be my Springfield waypoint 6.5PRC thing is stupid accurate.

Remington 700 Mountain LSS in .270 Win. It has been the most reliable rifle in my safe, though not the nicest. I have taken game from coyotes to elk with it.

I use ARs all the time and would probably go with my AR 10 in 7.62 x 51. If I have the range it'll do out to about 700 yards pretty easily. It's 20" barrel cuts performance some but it's very accurate.

I just bought a Ruger SFAR 6.5 CM 20" barrel and customized it. Trigger, gas block, charging handle, removed the brake, recoil pad, possibly stock, and other small things. It may be a choice one of these days but I'm still working on loads, etc. The 20" barrel kind of hamstrings the CM a bit.
