My 223 is great for wallabys and goats but my 6.5 is great for deer and thar, so if i could only pick one id prob go in the middle and go back to what i started with, the 243. Can do it all at sensible ranges.
Well I'm going to go off the deep end and say my 338 lm.
Full carbon so not to heavy to carry and can do it all at pretty much any range.
Just so expensive to feed.....
But possibly overkill on bunnies ... Maybe...
yeah but it would be worth it if you can knock one over at 3kmQuote:

I'd go 12 gauge single shot with a variety of rifled subcal adapters from 22lr to 45-70, whatever common cals the action could take (30-30, 9mm, 357, 44 mag, 45acp, 45lc). Have been very impressed at the accuracy of 12 inch adapters.
However, I think you meant a true rifle. In that case, probably 308 on account of its common components, and ability to subcal adapt a few .30 cal pistol cartridges, or just download to a lead round ball and fluff load for rabbits.
In a G2 then 223 on account of the ability to adapt the firing pin to shoot subcal 22lr.
Tikka T3 SuperVarmint in 308
16" barrel
Suppressor
McMillan Sako Varmint
S&B 10x42 PMII
I was almost about to buy there ex demo one when .50 got banned in Canada, put two mags down range and everythingQuote:

I like hunting calibers that I can get on the shelf at most shops these days, a few years back I would have said .308 rather than 6.5cred due to this
Rimfire..6.5 Creedmoor?? Huh??
If you're allowed a rimfire too then up the centrefire to 6.5.Quote:

6.5 Grendel would be next.:thumbsup::D
Well, I’m now down to MY one and only rifle.
A 6x45 in a classic old BSA action. Will do everything I need it to within sensible range limits.
I had to say ‘MY one and only’ because I’ve got a .222 hiding in the safe for my wee girl if/when she takes it up. Another BSA that can just happily wait there for her.
Got to be my short barrel 6.5 creedmoor for me. Certainly the first rifle I go to in the safe every hunting trip.
