    22LR, 22MAG, 7MM08, 270WSM and 12G. Takes care of anything I'm hunting

    I wouldn't mind turning the 22mag into a 17hmr if it is possible and not too expensive...

    1 x target rifle, 1 x hunter rifle each in 22LR and 308.
    If I can't get close enough to kill it with one of these, it's too far away.
    Only one I'd like to add would be a 6.5 Swede - just because.

    For me: 1.77 Air rifle (x4), 22lr (x2), 223 Rem, 243 win (x2), 308 Win, 7mm Rem Mag, 12ga (x3). I mainly use the 223 nowadays. Need to get out more which I hope to be able to do soon.

    For TR: 22lr, 243 Win, 7mm Rem Mag.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!

    My selection; 177, 22LR, 223, 6x45, 6.5 Grendel, 260Imp & 12g. The 6x45 is my go to for meat collecting and gets the most use, so that would be my cartridge of choice atm. The Grendel is new to the stable, so the status could change if it performs.
