the man with one tool is likely more proficient than the man with many tools for the same job or something like that

Wow. You're going to be in trouble for saying that. I'm starting to get the feeling 223 users are a bit like vegans. How do you know they use one? Don't worry, they'll tell you. (Don't take it...

To cover kiwi conditions - .22, 223, and 308 (or similar), and 12 guage. There are of course other centrefire calibers just as effective as 308, but advantage with 308 is you always have a ready...
