Up until now its been my trusty Rem 700 30-06 that was passed to me by my grandfather. Have been wanting to put it into the safe to keep it nice for an inheritance one day.
Once the load is developed, I'm moving to my new custom 7mm WSM

Remington 700 .270. Just the right amount of lethal knock down. Easy to find ammo.

Custom LH 6.5 Creedmoor.
Not as good of an elk or mule deer rifle as my 7 Rem Mag, but it would get it done.

Mine is my Browning A-bolt Stainless Stalker in 7 mag. I use Remington Managed Recoil rounds on Texas whitetails and hogs. They have about the same ballistics as a 7mm-08. I use full power rounds when hunting mule deer or anything bigger.

This is quite a vague question. What do you define as an "all-around" rifle?

All around 257ai, my 260 is awesome but its heavy and not meant to lug around. I still have a 220 swift in the works,and a 243ai if my smith gets around to it this decade  Here is the 257 ai, it has 4 loads, 90gr sierra gk hp, 100gr vld, 100gr sierra gk, and 100gr nosler BT. that all shoot under 1/3 moa or better.

Pre-64 Model 70 in .264 Win Mag, but my sporter 98 Mauser in .280 runs neck and neck with it.
