If you could only have one...

I'm going to have to go with Skinny on this one. If I was only allowed ONE, it would have to be the 223. With the correct fodder inserted into that chamber, I would not feel undergunned going after anything short of bear in the north/eastern US. I'd be comfortable taking shots on gray squirrels, bunnies, coon, fox, turkey, woodchuck, opossum, crow, pigeon, pheasant, deer and most importantly, the 2 legged scum that wanted the before mentioned tablefare from my table. Now understand, the 223 would be the choice if I could only have 1 rifle. Hope it never comes to that! Bill..........
