Wind drift should not be a factor with that yardage.

My grandpa used to farm those fallow deer. They were awesome for attracting other whitetails near our property during the rut! Even had a few whitetails jump the fence and make it in. They are a very nice animal. Scotty

3. 25 06

Alright, I'll bit too....

1. .22 LR
2. 12 Gauge Shotgun
3. 30-06
4. 375 H&H Mag.


All would get the job done for survival and all would be easy to find shells for.

Way too many variations but all will do....

 

[chet]

17 mach 2
223 rem
25-06
300WM


not sure if i could live without a 22 WMR tho

If it had to be 5 rifles, I'd throw in a 338 (WM, RUM, WBY) or 325wsm, but I think my winny could handle all the big stuff :grin:

 

[Woodycreek]

22 LR
243 Win or AI
280 Rem or AI
300 RUM

How could i leave out the 12 Ga Super Black Eagle II :shock:

 

[big rifle man]

22LR
243
.300WSM
.338RUM
With the variety of bullet weights available in the centerfires no need to look any further.

 

[caribouhunter]

22 lr or 17 hmr
223 rem
7mm 08
300 or 338 wm.

 

[sask boy]

Woodycreek, bought a SBEll 3 years ago all I can say is wow.
I am really interested in the new one.

Blessings,
Dan

 

[Woodycreek]

My SBE II is a do all shotgun to say the least. Trap, Skeet, Sporting Clays, duck and goose hunting, deer hunt, and even alittle up close at night yote hunting with 3 1/2" #4 buckshot.

To be "well equiped" I figure a guy needs the following:

A rimfire. Made mine a 10/22 Ruger.

A varmit rifle. A center fire rifle in the the .177 to .243 range. .223 rem, 22-250 and .243 are hard to beat.

A medium workhorse. Something in the .25 to .30 caliber range with a case capacity in the .308 Winchester to .300 win mag range. There are just too many great options in this area to name, but anything thing with a 6.5 to .30 caliber bullet based off a .308 or 30.06 case is a great option.

A thumper: 8mm to .375 in caliber. 325 WSM, .338 Win/RUM, or .375 H&H/Rug are all great options.

A 12 gauge shotgun. Since it's a shotgun, it doesn't count as one of the 4 rifles. :wink:

At this point you are well equiped, and it's time to start thinking about your custom beanfield rifle. 6.2/284, 7mm STW, 300 RUM, 338 Edge, printed action, custom heavy barrel, 14x+ scope....you get the picture.

And last, is your hunting sidearm. .41 or .44 Magnum. In most western states it takes a .41 magnum + to be legal, and the recoil from the .44 magum is sufficent for me.

Ok, so maybe I'm streaching the definition of 4 "rifles" a bit, but with one rimfire, one shotgun, one pistol and 4 well chosen scoped rifles, you can be equiped for virtually every hunting opportunity in North America.

Sorry! I had company and they stayed in the computer room.
Oh boy I've been waiting for this question.
257 WBY (for varmints)
7MM RUM (Antelope and small deer)
300 RUM (Big deer and bear)
375 RUM (elk)
Sorry JD338 I had to leave one of the RUMs out (338) and I didn't put in my pig gun.
As DrMike says it would be ashame to limit ourselves to 4 calibers.
