    north american big game is pretty broad. From 100 lb antelope to 2000 lb bison. Also, terrain and habitat varies from wide open prairie to thick bush you cant piss through. A do it all rifle is pretty hard to find, but if I had to have one it would be a stainless Remington 700 in 338-06, 21" barrel, fiberglass stock, Leupold 2.5-8x36 scope. 210 grain Barnes Triple Shock X @ 2700 fps would be the do-all load

    Id much rather have a 260 Remington and a 375 Ruger though

    Ha Ha, and so it is with clibers and rifle manufacturers, each to his own as long as the caliber is suitable.
