Default if you had to own just 1 high powered gun

i want to get a high powered rifle for hunting big game. something that will handle elk and grizz. i don't want to buy 2 or 3 guns right now so i just want one that will do the trick for all the north amer. big game. I'm looking at the 30-06, 7mm, 338 and so on. what would you guys recommend if you could only have one gun to hunt all the big boysthanks for the replies and good luck to all this season.

All your options are good ones, but give me the 30-06! Ammo anywhere I choose to go, can't say that for the others.

To handle everything from Grizzly to deer and antelope I would, with out a doubt, pick a .338 of some kind.

If Grizzly are not going to be part of the bag then a 300 WSM would be my choice.

300 rum or 338 rum. The 300 rum is my favorite gun I will be buried with it I do beleive. But I think the 338 win mag would also do the trick like bigbulls said

I would stick with the good old 375H&H and be covered for any game in the world I just got one for Sambar deer and Water Buff but I will likely use it for Camels and Donkeys and all of my Red deer shooting as well.

It's neat to get someone on here from another part of the world.

We always talk about deer, bears, elk, and moose, etc...

I never thought that camels and donkeys would be considered game animals. Kinda cool.
