| Pick just one caliber.
If you could only have one big game caliber for all of N. America what would it be and why?

| Senior Member  | Ruger Super Blackhawk
Rattle'em up: Sir; Ruger Super Blackhawk. .44 with 250grn Keith type Sir; with long gun I have reached out and touched. Not much incentive for me to learn something new. Crawling sneaking hiding to with yards; what fun  For me; it isn't about the kill; it is all about my challenges I go to the grocery store for food.

I actually deer hunted in California with a coworker that used a .44 Ruger Blackhawk. He jumped out of his vehicle with his .44 straped to his waist, and I ask him if he forgot his rifle? he told me that the Ruger straped to his side was all he needed. I never said another word about it. Last edited by Rattle'em up; 05-02-2008 at 08:56 PM. | |

Based on your other post the .270 you picked is probably as good as it gets for all around. Good choice. Ron |

.300 Winchester Magnum...Hands down, Flat shooting, Many bullet choices on the Market, Plenty of power to kill a Buffalo, Grizzly or Big Moose or anything else !!! It's what I use as My primary Hunting Rifle... Lighter recoil than the larger Magnums... Its what's for SHOOTIN' !
