my favorite caliber is the 270 you can use it in thick places or in open country with a good scope and this caliber you will be able to hunt sucessfuly for many many years to come

Remington 700 in 308 Win.

Definately 308. If I was pressed for a long action, have to be the 280.

.270 is mine.

375 H&H

Used to be .308. Now, it's 7.92 x 57JS.... ("7.92mm Mauser", or "8mm Mauser", or "8 x 57JS"....whatever the bloody heck one wishes to call it).

Another vote for the .270 or its daddy...

6.5x55 Swedish

I wasn't a fan when I was young cause I was into the "bigger and faster must be better" thing. But since owning one for the past 15 years or so I can say with out a doubt that it is the .270 Win.

It is the only true all purpose big game rifle IMHO. Its bullet diameter is small enough for varmints, it excels as a medium big game cartridge, and it is still more than capeable of taking down the largest elk and moose. It shoots as flat as any one would need, factory ammo is available anywhere in the world in weights from 100 grains to 150 grains and if you reload you can get bullets anywhere from 90 to 180 grains.

gotta vote for little brother.......25-06!!! super versitile and mine is shooting oh so well!!!!!
