best cartridge for hunting all big game
Alright sounds like the browning is going to be my best choice here; my thanks to all of you who sent your advice. My question now is what caliber is best for hunting elk, deer, and antelope, I had posted that I was going to get the 7mm rem mag because that was the advice I was given from a reliable source but it seems there are a lot of mixed opinions about that cartridge. So what would you hunt these types of game with if you had only one rifle.
Options are:
22” barrel 7mm-08 rem
22” barrel 308 win
22” barrel 30-06 spfld
26” barrel 7mm rem mag
26” barrel 300 win mag

I have an opportunity to get a couple rifles at a great price and as much as I would like to get both I cannot afford to do to so.
The first is a savage II FXP3 .308 w/accutrigger
The other is a browning A bolt composite stalker 7mm
I will be hunting elk, deer, and antelope and this will be my first and only big game rifle for awhile. I won't be putting a lot of rounds through this gun as I have a couple varmint rifles thatI like to shoot.
Which one would you choose
