I would agree anything one can kill well with and is accustomed to.

I know bowhunters I would not want within 50 yards of my trail in light wind.

I have a neighbor....an eccentric neurologist (are there any other kind..lol) who hunts squirrels long bow....not recurve...an osage longbow. I have seen him hit pie plates all day long at 40 yards.

Me....I prefer a 1911 or high caliber wheelgun at reach and any decent black gun or even a universal caliber hunting rifle on the back seat or in the rack. It depends on where you live I would suppose. In the city, 5.56 or 7.62 Russian are great.....out in Squantos land I'd prefer a bit more down range punch and since my vehicle is toting ammo...ammo weight is not the same concern it might be in the A-Shau valley tromping about.

For sporting calibers, I prefer the 30-06 cause I was born with one in my hands.

For strategic offensive stuff, one could hardly go wrong with a .338 Lapua TRG-1(?)...Sako


I could go on and on.....I am quite fond of Weatherby Bolt Action in 300 weatherby mag but again cause I'm used to them.

Same for .270s or even my fav 20....the .220 Swift

This is like a which superhero is the baddest thread.

My favorite firearm has always been the one I could grab first as these things have never been planned in my world.

Haven't seen the TRG . 338 lapua mag is a very fine caliber for bucking mirage and wind at extream range. Coyotes hate it here in the Panhandle. My 338 lapua Mag is a Dakota longbow . My ex girl friday bought it for me back when they were affordable....the gun not the girl friday.....I kept the gun being the SOB I am if you were wondering............:o)

Stay Safe !
