Thread: If you could have only one rifle

A fast twist 20/22" barrel .223 and various boxes of projectiles to feed it. 52-80 grn, hard and soft.
With the right powder/bullet selection I would be good for anything that I hunt. Wallaby to deer mainly, and the odd Tahr.

No other caliber would allow me to blaze off a hundred cheap rounds at wallaby or pests at almost any reasonable range and not pick up the brass, and immediately switch to shooting a deer (or Tahr) out to 300. On the same day, even.

I would need to turn down the odd shot at a big critter, but that would be the price of versatility.
