    I myself like my sako .270, it is one smooth shooting gun.

    45-70 I bought it for back up when I drew a Grizzly draw in one of the inlets. Planned on using a longbow with a buddy for backup, but still wanted a good nock down power gun close to me. I use it for guiding now and backup for bears with the hounds. Great short little gun!

    .375 H&H. Will be my favorite for ever and ever. Good knock down power. Adequate range 95% of the time.

    Only one? My 25/06 is quickly becoming my favorite kick around gun. Accurate, easy on recoil, and big enough to do 95% of my hunting requirements. I enjoy the big magnums l own, but when you get to reloading in excess of 100 grs of powder per cartrige, they usually aren't the toys you want to take out for a casual afternoon of target shooting, or plinking around.........

    30.06 because it was the one all around calibre that was most suggested when I was getting into shooting, many moons ago and it just stuck. The more I learn the more it still sticks.!!!!!!!!
