if you could
if you could
only have 3 centerfires... What would they be?
for me?
I think I would have
Varminter - So in my case, a 223, but if I was to build the "perfect" one, it would be a 6 ppc
Mid Range fallow, spotlight for bigger animals, etc rifle - I reckon the 6.5x47 lapua fits this role well, wouldn't you say?
Top end, big farking animal, still not big enough for sambar rifle - 358 norma mag, 185-320 odd grain projies suits me just dandy.
So what would you blokes pick?

My choice would be a 20PPC (Varmint/spotlight), 260Rem(sporter weight/general southern duties), 300WM (everything).

Re: if you could
If you can only have 3 rifles, I'd try to stick with readily available off-the-shelf calibres.
.223
.308
and probably a .338 something or other.
