22-250
x2...long range and accurate...doubles as a good deer gun with the right ammo...but some states require a minimum cal of 243 for deer.

.204 Ruger, my brother in law has one and it is an awesome gun.  I've seen him hit a couple yotes from 300-350 yds and even better, I saw him nail two small birds out of a tree from 400 yds.  Tack driving little sucker.

I own a 17 hmr...and it is a nice gun but if the wind picks up it will drift...don't know about the .204...but it sounds like it might be a nice one...

.17 fireball, which can be used on deer here in tx and has a long range. A 223/5.56 is another all around good caliber for deer, yotes and bobcats. It dont make a big hole entering or exiting

I would go with an escort magnum.  imo it is by far the best cheaper auto out there.  Now it don't shoot the 3 1/2 magnums but I can shoot the stoutest 3 inchers and have the lightest dove load right behind it or vise versa and it cycles.  I love mine bought a 20 also I liked my 12 so much.  Picked up my 20 for just over 200 at a pawn shop. Think my 12 cost 350 maybe 400 but I can shoot the loads remingtons can't el walfart chepos and my buddys remingtons won't lol.  High end I would stay away from the gun that took the sbe II place don't remember what it is called but it kicks like a freaking mule.  Looked cool but bruised the everliving number 2 out of me.

223 best all around gun there is tac driver at any distance with the right scope speed behind this caliber is ridiculous and you can get the ammo for it from any where and it's a cheap round

I disagree with a 223 being the best all around gun. The reason I say that is because once the bullet carries past 300 yards it drops in a hurry. Although the bullet is virtually the same as a 22-250, the powder in the shell makes a tremendous difference and makes it a lot faster than a 223. I have a custom ar-15 decked out as well as a howa 22-250 with floated bull barrel. I like them both a lot but at long distances the 22-250 is better hands down in my opinion.
