Default After the 1st gun?

With lots of questions about 1st guns what would chambering would be your 21st gun?

I've got 204 ruger,223, 243 win, 257 wby, 26 nos, 7mm08, 30-06, 338wm,338rum and 358 utm, 45-70. I'm not a big fan of 30 cal mags but I'm thinking my next rifle will be in 28 nosler or 30 nosler

How many of those rifles do you use?

I’m not sure how many rifles I’ve owned but I never seem to use more than 2 at a time ever. After having a variety of cartridges I’ve settled on .284 diameter cartridges as being my go to caliber, they seem to offer the best balance.

I’ve always wanted a vanilla 7mm rem mag but have never owned one until now, so I guess my 21st gun is a 7mm rem mag. I’ve got a couple 243’s for yote work and a 22 for chickens and rabbit, really I think that covers about anything I need a rifle for. But no two humans are the same so odds are several people will disagree.

For a completely different experience why not go 50 cal black powder. they come along fairly cheap on CGN sometimes. fun to shoot.

Everyone gun owner should own a few .22 rifles. That new CZ 457 is pretty sweet looking.

I looked into the 416 Barrett before. They are definitely a specialty rifle
Any cheytac would be neat too.
Could probably whack an elk pretty easy from your deck

Kurt, I suppose I use 4 depending on the day. 257,26 and one of the 338's. Usually it's my 338 wm is my go to. Like the lady from Frank's red hot " I use that **** on everything".

Jungle I don't have much interest in black powder but I suppose that could change. A 50 bmg has been something I've wanted for a very long time.

Have most of what's listed. Depends on what I'm in the mood for. I'd like to build a custom Win M70 Stainless Classic in 300H&H & 358STA.
A few neat cal's I have are 358 Norma Mag, 7x64's, 8x68s, bunch of 7x57's, bunch of 40+ cal's

I never noticed if you said what you mainly use your guns for wether its for hunting, targets or just plinking. In my mind that list needs a fun plinking gun in like 44 mag or 357 as well as a big bore like a 375 or 416. Maybe a 300 Norma for long range?
