If you could only have 3 rifles

My 3 big game choices.

6mm - deer.
300RUM- elk

Mine would be:

.223 in a nice AR built for defense, but they work great for coyotes, PD's, and fun shooting

LSR 7WSM for game from pronghorn to elk

338 Edge for anything from deer to bears, heck I'd have to try it on a few coyotes too!

The 223 could be replaced with a precision 243 for a more rounded game trio, but if I were limited to 3, an AR would be vital if the poop ever hits the fan.
 
Good Topic

My opinion

AR 15 223 for general purpose varmint and small game, i love my Rock River so far

APS 7mm Allen Mag, I love my 270AM but the 7 would be a little better for larger game

50BMG trued and tuned by you know who

and if i had all three of them i bet you would be hard pressed to pry my Benelli 12ga out of my hands LOL so i think i will take it too

1 T/C Contender with switch barrels 22LR/223/308Bellm/375JDJ/45-70 :D

2 Rem 700 LSS in 375RUM

3 Marlin 1895GS 45-70
 
If I could only have three . . . I think I'd be seriously reconsidering my voting choices and political involvement over the past 40 years. If I hadn't been an NRA member, I hope I'd be too ashamed to complain about the limitation.

All these answers and only two guys have mentioned a 22 rimfire?

223 for **** near anything on the cheap

30-06 for anything the 223 didn't handle

375 H&H for dinosaurs and such
