I love the .223 and all kinds of rifles. I was out shooting a flintlock today, which I would happily shoot a deer with out to 100 yards with a round ball peice of pure lead. But if I had to pick one rifle for everything bigger than rabbits, and it was a serious decision, it would be a .308.

Daniel Boone was pretty slick on a tomahawk too.
I remember seeing him split a standing tree in half from about twenty yards.
And I don't subscribe to the one gun theory. Often the guy with one gun drags it out from behind the wash house door, and it's a cruddy old 22,covered in rust, bullets in the mag etc. Nothing about that makes me think he's proficient with it.
