RE: 2 Rifles to hunt the world?
I have lived 33 years with out actually "hunting" prarie dogs, coyotes, ground hogs, etc... soI can probably go another 30 or 40 years.
In light of that I would choose......
.338 RUM and 458 Lott.

you can hunt every animal in the world with one rifle, a blaser r-93. you just have to get numerous barrels.

The only drawback to most people owning a Blaser is that you can buy numerous Savages for what one Blaser will cost.

Only 2 rifles to hunt everything from prairie dogs to elephants? What 2 do you pick?

I'm guessing it was the chamberings that one was more interested in knowing though but i did answer the question asked.
The above two rifles would be chambered for the .22-250 and the .458 Win mag. Would be tempted to choose the .300 H&H or even the .375 H&H over the .458 but I'd want that extra if so needed. Load 'em with BP or a substitute and it's great for North American game.
