hello,
let me try to solve this problem for you, there is no such thing as a all around rifle, IMHO, for target shooting and long range shooting it is very hard to beat a .243 in a savage 110, remington 700, winchester mod 70, and a few others, but there are several rifles and calibers that will satisfy your needs, now for home defense, a high power centerfire rifle is not good, it is a bad idea really, i dont know where you live or how many homes or what is outside your walls, but it dont matter, you have no idea where the bullet will travel, home defense firearm of my choice is a good 12 or 20 guage depending how well you can shoot either one, choice is simple for me on gun, remington 870, but there is a whole lot more quality guns out there, load it with 00 buck or #4 shot and your good to go, also a good handgun will do what you need for home defense, but just train with anything you get and make it second nature to rely on training and gun control, whats the point of having a firearm if you can not shoot it proficently? this is just my 2 cents,
im out,
jon
