Only one caliber for the rest of your life.
 
Wanted to make this a poll, but couldn' t get it to work for some reason.

If you were told you had to choose a single caliber, and it would be the ONLY one you' d ever get to hunt with (Safaris and shotguns excluded) for the rest of your life, what would you choose?

After thinkin this up, I really thought about it, my first instinct was .30-06 springfield, but then I reconsidered....my vote goes .44magnum, cuz I really love the round, although not as much as the 06, and it would give me several types of arm to use it in, lever gun, wheelgun, carbines, bolt, single shot hand and long, and I feel it' s more than capable of taking any game on the north american continent if hunted correctly.

:DMy Savage .308 is going to be it. It' s great fun to shoot and very accurate and just flattens whitetails.
