The old .30-06, hands down.

[upland4]

30-30 out of a lever gun

[Edward J. Palumbo]

I have to agree with 99explorer. The .30-'06 is the answer to your prayers!

[Carl Huber]

I concur 30-06 you can't beat it and there is no shortage.

[Treestand]

Ditto~~To the above Crew...you just cant beat the 30/06.

[jhjimbo]

If you like a long action rifle go with the 30-06, you will not be disappointed. If you like a shorter action rifle i would say the .308 would be the best all around. IMO

[Pmacc60]

Have to say 3o-o6 also for all above reasons!

[MidnightBanjo]

Yup! Its hard to beat the 30-06 for a one gun all round rifle. That's exactly why I bought mine.

'06.

[small game sportsman]

probably 30-06

[Bioguy01]

30-06 or .308

[Sarge01]

300WSM the 30-06 on steroids without alot of extra recoil.

[Grassroots89]

30-06

[Ga hunter]

Can't beat the 30-06 or the .308! Both are great for big game
