Custom Rifle Question

If it had to be one rifle/caliber for everything I'd go with a 7 rem mag or a 300wm. Can reliably take down anything in NA (short for maybe a grizzly) and ammo can be bought anywhere. Ammo availability rules out the RUMs and oddball (weatherby, SAUM, etc. etc.) calibers. 30.06, 308, and 270 are a bit light for a moose, but could do the job. Wouldn't go with a 6.5 variety for both ammo availability and slightly small for larger animals, though they would do the job for the most part.
All that being said, I'd rather have 4 $1000 guns in various calibers than 1 $4000 gun in a "do it all" caliber. For hunting purposes, a $4000 gun can't do anything more than a $1000 can do. This is assuming you aren't a long range hunter who needs an extremely accurate gun.

I just got my total custom 6.5 creedmor back recently. I can kill everything in Texas. I started with a Remington 700 action.
The 6.5 outperforms the .308 beyond 1000ydsLast edited by JohnWayne86; 05-15-2017, 01:26 PM.
