I would like to read the reasons for your picks. Here goes mine. I live in NY so large magazine capacity is not important. I have never been a big fan of .22 caliber centerfire rifles for fur or meat and my combat days are long over (I hope).
First pick – 25 WSSM. Kills deer and coyotes very dead and can “almost” match my 25.06. It is not my favorite to reload.
Second pick – 7.62 x 39. This is my current build project. It should be a fun light deer rifle and after dinner toy.
Third pick – (for my last stripped lower) .458 SOCOM. If my son wasn’t so interested in the 7.62 I would be doing this. With the bullet selection this just looks like a ton of fun.
What's in your safe?
