Thread: If you were only allowed 1 rifle...

Hey guys

Fun poll just out of interest!

If you were limited to only having 1 rifle for everything, what calibre would it be?

Two criteria:
1) for NZ hunting only

2) for worldwide hunting

My choiced would be:

NZ - 260 Rem, can be used in the bush and to reasonably long ranges with good selection of projectiles and big enough to take most NZ game, scrub bulls and possibly Sambar would be the exceptions, was a toss up between this and the .308, 260 won due to slightly better BC pills and shooting bunnies with a .308 would be ridiculous!

Worldwide - .375 H&H, can take the biggest game (alhough slightly marginal on elephant) and can be loaded light for bush or with 350gr pills for reasonably long range, I'll ignore the bunny point on this one!

Interested to hear your thoughts!
