None of the above.

In negotiations now for a Weatherby Mark V Ultra Lightweight in 257 Weatherby magnum.

Last rifle was 7mm WBY Mag.
Before that 25 WSSM.
257 Roberts AI.

Quarter bores are cool!

I have a new to me used .257 weatherby vanguard stainless that I'm ITCHING to use more in the new year! Got my first ever order of hammers. Gonna see how fast the 90 grain absolute and 75 grain hunter can SCREAM!!!!!
 
If I were starting over with no rifles in the safe, I'd probably start with a JP Sauer 100 in 30-06. I could walk into most any sporting goods store and buy a box of ammo that could kill 95% (maybe 100% using 180gr Nosler partition ammo?) of the continent's critters out to 1/4 mile right outta the box.

Rifle + VX3 HD + scope mount + ammo under $2000 and should shoot sub MOA.



 
When you say big game that's pretty broad. For a big game cartridge I like the 375 ruger for long range I'm of the the likes that prefer the 7mm mag or 257 weatherby.
