Rem Model 700 Classic in 375 H&H Mag. It is topped with a 1.5x6 Bausch & Lomb and has Leupold QD rings. Iron sights are set for 50 yards with 300 gr bullets. With this rifle I can use it for anything on the planet. It shoots a handloaded solid and soft point to the same point of aim. With solids I can shoot small stuff or big stuff and with soft points I can use it for everything else.

I only have one center fire, a 1980 model M-77 in .243 caliber with a Leupold VX-II 3x9x40...It's all I have used for deer, bear and other varmints since I bought it new...I've killed over 200 deer with it so I guess it's a keeper....

This is a tuff one but we're I hunt in wv I would probably say my savage 24 f 12/222 with a redfield golden five star 4x. Can kill squirrels, rabbits, Fox, coyote, groundhogs,turkeys and deer with the same gun. Know a person that even killed a black bear with his savage 24 in 222.

If I had to choose today it would be my Model 70 SE .375 H&H topped with a VX6 2x12.
In a few years when I quit traveling so much I think I would choose a Model 700 .280 topped with a VX6 2X12. It is not quite a factory rifle as it has a Douglas barrel and Brown Precision stock. If not the .280 it would be my identical .300 WM.

Well since I could not use a centerfire during shotgun or muzzleloader seasons here in Michigan, I would pick my T/C Omega Muzzleloader and be limited to 200 yard or under shots.

No way I would ever clean the safe out to where I had just one gun. I could get by with one rifle my Remington 700 # 1 custom in 300 Winchester mag. One shot gun my Ithaca model 37 feather weight with the mod choke.
Having one gun is blasphemy way I see it.
Would hate to shoot a coyote whose pelt I am going to seel with a 30 CAL magnum let alone a wood chuck. A squirrel won't even be worth looking for either.
