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

I'd say .243 and .338

kdvollmer 02-23-2008 10:05 PM

RE: 2 Rifles to hunt the world?
 
As much of a fan of the .338 as I am, you are required min of .375 for much of Africa's game so:

.375
.22-250

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.

Do I hear an echo?:D

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

Ruger #1 and another Ruger #1. Those would be my two rifles as asked about. :D

I'm guessing it was the chamberings that one was more interested in knowing though but i did answer the question asked. :D

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.

Question was for 2 rifles.....and assumed to mean 1 rifle, 1 barrel.

If course you can do this with Savage as well. Though not quite as easily but you can quickly swap Savage barrels with just a barrel nut wrench and head spage gaugesfor thechambering.

Geez - I didn't even get to ruffle any feathers. I guess the Blazers are good rifles. I just never liked the looks of them. I guess I'm just a traditional kind of guy.

BigTiny 02-24-2008 07:18 PM

RE: 2 Rifles to hunt the world?
 
25-06 for praire dogs up to deer and a .416 magnum for elk on up. I know you don't need a 416 for elk but it doesn't hurt.

RE: 2 Rifles to hunt the world?
 
Where the laws allow the 270win and 35 whelen will do all. For where the game laws prohibit any thing less the 357 H&H. I am not interested in elephents or rinos, but if the 12ga and brenkie slugs kill buffalos then so will the 35 whelen and 250gr partitions or heavier bullets if still avalible.
