This is sort of a , if you could only have one , question . In the recent thread " one hangun , one shotgun , one rifle " , it looks like most would choose the Remington 870 and a 4" 38/357 revolver [ also my choice ] . My question is , if you could only have one hunting type rifle , would it be a 308 , 30-06 or 30-30 ? Would it be a bolt , pump , or lever ? Wich one of these do you think is the most popular/common ? My guess would be that a 30-06 bolt would be the most common followed closely by the 30-30 lever and the 308 would be a distant 3rd . Please don't say it depends on what or where you are hunting , I just want to know wich is the most popular .
