I' ll take my 12 guage sabot slug! You cant exclude shotguns.

If it had to be a rifle then the 30-06 would be my choice , but most .30 caliber rounds would be sufficient.

If it was just deer hunting the 7mm-08 would win hands down but considering moose and bear I guess I would pick my 300WSM as best of all worlds.Now if I can just get my hands to let go of this 7mm [:@]

I don' t have one but I think the 06 is the most versitile round every made, from the 150grain boattail to the big ol' 220 grain monster.

I' m partial to my new .270, but my .444 Marlin has always been faithful.

Only one gun for everything,[:@][:' (] I would have to go with the .338 WIN. I could load it down for smaller game and still be able to hunt everything except for the cape buffalo. I think it would be able to cover a much broader range of animals better than the 30-06 and I would " feel" better having a bigger slug if I were to hunt grizzlies.
