X2 if I can only have one. Since I have more than one my Finnlight is a .308.

If only one my Remington 700 in 338 Win-Mag with a Leupold Vari X 3 in 3x9x40 . It's been a Deer Killer for years with 180 Ballistic Tips but I can go up in bullet weight and handle anything in North America and most anything in the world . It's a flat shooter with the 180's and tack driver . Been a go to gun for 15 years .

I'd take a Ruger MKII 30-06 in stainless / syn because of its integrated base.

For big game, 700 remington made prior to 1986 or so in 270 with a Schmidt and Bender scope, trigger job and synthetic stock. Real similar to one I have now, haha.
For small game a similarly aged remington 41 or 581 bolt action 22.

Well if I could only own one rifle it would probably be a 300 win mag in either a tikka or a sako. Synthetic/stainless with my zeiss diavari 3-12x56 sitting on it.

I prefer the short action too but if I could have just one caliber to do it all, I would pick a 30-06.

Take your kids hunting instead of hunting your kids.
I'd rather be LOST in the woods than FOUND in the city.
Drive a hybrid, I need your gas.
Your mind is your primary weapon. Never let it get rusty.

If it got that serious, deer hunting wouldn't be high on my day to day priority list.
If you are talking deer hunting, 7mm mag. Win model 70 extreme weather
