Pick 3 rifle calibers from your collection

[ADKWOODSMAN]

To quote cz223
"If you had to limit your rifles to 3 calibers, small, medium and, large, what 3 would you pick.

Small= Varmint caliber up to coyote size animals. Let's keep the upper limit at 6mm/243 caliber

Medium= Deer sized game, coyotes etc. I think 308 should be the upper limit here.

Large= Animals up to and including Elk and Moose and Bear. Lets stick to calibers for animals in the US/canada. Not looking for elephant guns here."

Small - .22-250 super accurate, kills better than its supposed to.
A Cooper would be nice.

Med - .30-06 in an original unfooled with, mint condition, 1903 Springfield.
100+yrs of sterling service to American shooters.
Good enough for Sgt. Woodfill and Corp. York is plenty good with me!

Large - .375H&H Mag. A Rigby Best Quality mauser would do just fine.
The old .375 will punch anything on this continent with power to spare.

I don't need a third.

[Regolith]

From my collection? Well, I'm kind of screwed there...right now I've only got a .22LR.

My ideal?

.22LR
.308 Win/7.62x51mm or .30-06 Springfield
.45-70

Right now I'm looking at getting either a .308 or a .30-06 rifle, maybe within the next couple of days if I decide to do it sooner rather than later (otherwise I might wait a few months).

 

[mejeepnut]

again with 22lr and 30-06 from me but the 06 covers medium and large(and larger small game).As for a third choice that would also cover all three I am thinking 20ga.I don't see the need for something between 22lr and 30-06 but I do own a 223,243,and a 270.

 

[1200 meters]

Of what I have I quess
.308 loaded light foe light work
30-06 loaded w/ 240grs at 2650for mediun
