Jake - I suppose I should admit, I did start putting together a couple rifles for my wife and I to use as our “go-to” hunting rigs a few years ago, intent on reducing how many rifles we put one or two special memories on... Admittedly, in the spirit of this game, they are cheater’s answers... I ordered a pair of magnum Ruger M77 Hawkeye All-Weather’s, hers in 7mm Rem mag and mine in 300. They’re a complete money pit, waste of money, but we love Ruger’s and wanted personalized rifles we could always use for anything. Hers is a 7RM most of the time, but has barrels for 338wm and 416 Ruger. Mine has a 300 barrel and a 458wm barrel. I might add a 416 Ruger barrel for mine this summer as well. So they’re still gross overkill for deer, about ideal for elk, and can be everything we need them to be for bear and dangerous game.
