Favorite do-all rifle

[johnmyers]

Tough choice between my 25-06 Ackley or my 7-06 Ackley

Unfortunately I don't actually have a do-all rifle right now and is the plan for the next build actually that I hope to complete for 2025.

So my options now would be something too big for the smaller critters, or too small for the bigger critters or heavy hell to drag around lol.

Because I hunt moose almost every year I would have to probably do the right thing and pick either my smokeless or 300 Norma. If not I'd go for the 25x47 Lapua and just suffer the weight. I would feel right using a 22bra lol

I have a semi custom 280 AI I put together a few years ago and it seems to always be the gun I pull out of the safe.I have full customs that are nicer but I seem to always grab the 280 AI out of the safe.

Ten years ago it would have been the Ruger in 7mag, 8-9 years ago it would have been the Tikka 30-06, 6-7 years ago it would have been the Tikka in 6.5x55. The last five years the Anderson/ BCA 6.5Grendel has been my goto.
Times change, I dont trade a good unit and sometimes they get pulled out of retirement so I dont have the ONE

300wm with berger 215's for everything that goes on the BBQ!

I'm with @CaptDru and others and would pick my 280 AI. 139's for deer size game and 160 accubond for anything bigger.
Mine is a browning Xbolt.
I love this rifle but glad I have other choices!

Any one of the 7RMs in my safe would do
