Re: Poll: What would be your only rifle?

I am with TAM regarding how hard it is to choose. For me each rifle a person owns should have a purpose. For "only one centerfire rifle" -- one that can be relied on in adverse conditions for multiple purposes -- I have a hard time refuting Col. Cooper's idea for a Scout rifle -- short bolt action (no cartridges of 30-06 length), common cartridge, short, relatively light and handy with a forward mounted scope. The .308 is arguably the most common cartridge that fits this definition, but I'd personally be equally happy with .243 or perhaps even 7mm-08.

That said, if available funds and prices ever come together on a Savage 99 in .308 or .243, I'd be hard-pressed not to acquire it.
