Boomy, if you're referring to me, the Winnies are only what I would choose. I wasn't expecting the same from everyone else. So give us is your preference.

from a practical off the shelf standpoint and your choice of action length the 270 Win and 338 Win Mag make the most sense. Going full custom and handloading I would go more exotic like the Newtons. Lever action 30-30 and 45-70. 577 BME 3"500 KILL ALL 358 GREMLIN 404-375 *we band of 45-70ers* (Founder) Single Shot Shooters Society S.S.S.S. (Founder) | |||

My pair of matching rifles would be Model 70 Winchesters in .270 WSM and .358 STA. The WSM is a South Carolina Feather Deluxe with a beautiful stock that is super accurate. It wears a 4.5 X 14 Ziess Conquest scope. The STA is from the Winchester Custom shop with an incomparable red tinted stock and Stainless barrel and action that shoots one holers all day when the shooter is up to it. It wears a 4.5 X 14 Leupold Vari-X III. Good shooting. phurley | |||

For me, the 2 classics would be pre-64, model 70's. One in .270 Win. (of course) the other in .338 WM. Bear in Fairbanks Unless you're the lead dog, the scenery never changes.

Since we are talking American and Dreaming. In bolt guns, 375 Weatherby and 270 Win. Pre 64 Winchesters of course. 375 (Not 378) Weatherby is at least equal to its parent case. The 270 for little stuff and 375 for Bison, Bears Buffalo and Elephants. In lever guns, Winchester 1895s in 405 and 270. Stay away from the Elephants. Mark | |||

I am always an outlyer on these things, but I would have Remington 700 LHs (or custom rifles) in .222 Remington and 270 Winchester. The trip deuce will handle the light work, the 270 works on stuff as big as elk, and that is most likely as big as I will ever go. | |||

Matched Model 70s in .308 and .338. I think that would make a mighty fine battery, right there. | |||

Winchester CRF model 70s with 21" barrels in 30-06 Spfd and 416 Rem Mag. Boomy, I almost agreed with you before reading your post . . . I thought 30-06 and 40-06 (400 Whelen), but then gave the nod to the 416 instead. | |||

Those are nice Rusty. Good "American" rounds. Tell me about the scopes. I can just barely make out that they are Weatherby on my iphone.

Those are the original Wheatherby scopes that came with the rifles. The power setting are under a cap as are the windage and elevations Rusty We Band of Brothers!

A 338 federal, 338 Win Mag and 338 Lapua could be quite the trio. All capable of the largest NA game at the right range with the Lapua set for long range and target. Drop the Lapua for a duo of the same diameter. 577 BME 3"500 KILL ALL 358 GREMLIN 404-375 *we band of 45-70ers* (Founder) Single Shot Shooters Society S.S.S.S. (Founder) | |||

.270 Winchester .338 Win Mag. Two American Classics, that can only be made better if owned in matching rifles. | |||

For North America I would select a 264 Win Mag and a 338 Win mag. Both rifles in Remington 700 BDL's topped with variable Leupy scopes. | |||

I really like Dr. Lou's combo, but I think I would go the Weatherby route and take a pair of Mark V's chambered in 257 Wby. and 340 Wby. | |||

I would go with a matching pair of Ruger Hawkeyes in 280 Rem (maybe a 270 or '06) and 375 Ruger. I would be able cover most game with that pair.

Others have pointed to this combo, too, and I agree completely. Though I don't have matching rifles, I do have a Pre-64 Mod. 70 Featherweight in .270 Win*, and a Ruger 77 in .338 Win Mag. The problem is that I've had to work hard to justify my .225 Win and my 6 mm ( 1 in 12 twist) Rem! * It turns out my .270 is very accurate with Sierra 110 grains very well . . . not to mention several other bullets of greater weight, a fine varmint round. | |||

I like that Alberta canook! I have a .257 Roberts and a 30/06 that seem to cover about everything American I can shoot. (They are not a matched pair but both have 3-9 Leupolds and 3 position safeties on them) Truly an American combo. | |||

I'd choose a .204 and a .300- win mag. I don't believe in CRF. I've been hunting 50 years and have never short stroked one yet. My choice is a Rem. 700. velocity is like a new car, always losing value. BC is like diamonds, holding value forever. | |||

No need for 2 guns. Just get a .300WM in a model 70. | |||

I know that nobody likes Remington Actions here but for me it's easy. a Short action Rem 700 in a custom stock and a long action Rem 700 in a custom stock. The calibers would be .243 and 338 Win mag. I could cover anything on this continent. Maybe the 338 is a little small for Alaska but there's sure a lot of them up there. Maybe the 243 doesn't have an ideal case neck to shoulder angle, but it works. I can cover any game on this ground I live on. I know it's not real fancy but It's American all the way. | |||

Perfect. I've got an identical pair of Accumarks in those calibers--same scopes, same bipods, etc.--and am very pleased. | |||

257 Roberts and 35 Whelen. When you need it and don't have it you'll be singing a different tune. | |||
