7mm Rem Mag- the only magnum I'd need
Lazzaroni Titan (8.59 Mag) - just because not many people have one

How about 25 WSSM and a 338 RUM talk about a spread.

.257 WBY Magnum and .375 H&H Magnum. I think that would pretty much cover everything.

7mm rem mag does me fine upto moose sized game. ThoughI have no interest nor have hunted the bigger bears in NA, via my arm chairI would feel more confident using the likes of 338,etc in such an instance. So for sake of thepost andcovering antelope to the biggest bear I am going away from what I know.

257 wby. and 375 H&H

Hmmm, probably plenty big enough and powerful enough, BUT they are not technically magnums which kinda leaves them in the "non-magnum category", sorry, it is just kinda how it is.
I have a 9.3x74R imp. double rifle that i rather like, but it's not a magnum either...
