If 2 and only 2 period then .22 and 30-06. It’s like night and day.

If a fella had to narrow it down to any less than 29 or 30 I just don’t know what I would do. BUT theoretically speaking, IF I could only be buried with 2 rifles...one would be a Weatherby MarkV 6-lug carbine chambered in 7-08 strapped into a McMillan Sako Classic stock and the other would be a Kimber Montana w/ a Brux #3 fluted barrel chambered in .30-06 with a 1-10” twist.

This would be my choice as well . I can go heavy with the 338 and handle most anything in NA and beyond or light and hunt Deer at home . The 25-06 can go light for varmits or heavy for Deer and most lower 48 stuff .

My Dad's two .257's. One is a Roberts. I think it has his old Unertl scope on it.

I would think 300win mag and a 308 should pretty well have you covered. Since you reload, it is nice to have 2 guns that both use .308 projectiles. 300 winmag is good for everything in North America and more and is pretty flat shooting. I would probably have the win mag custom built or maybe a Christensen Arms Ridgeline titanium. For the 308 I would get something nice and lite with a 20" or 18” carbon wrapped barrel also maybe in CA Ridgeline titanium or custom. Can handload the 308 full power or even reduced power loads or even subsonic for whatever purpose you need. To mix things up even more I would maybe even get the 308 in a BLR levergun. I have a soft spot for lever guns. I would even go as far as to say 300 win mag and 30-30. One new gun with new technology and one just classic, fast handling, and proven lever gun. Both using .308 projo's.

300 win short mag and 308 given your barrel
This is my exact go to. I've used my 300WSM with a 22" barrel shooting 180gr federal trophy bonded tip bullets on everything from spring buck to zebra in Africa to whitetails, bear, elk and moose here. It has never let me down. It is overkill for deer but it still drops them for my deer/hog hunting here I've been using a 18" barreled Ruger American lately and liking it.

I did the exact thing you’re talking about doing. I trimmed down to two do all rifles with great dependable glass. A 7mm-08 and a .280AI

I will preface this by saying I would rather be dead or turn gay than be limited to 2 rifles. Having said that, for deer I could narrow it down to 3.
.300 win or wby. .450 marlin or .45-70 .308 or .7-08
I am sorry, I know that is a lot.
I feel nauseous now and very depressed. I am going to go snort a line of Lexapro and have diarrhea now!
