If you were picking a DR for N America, WHAT would you choose? Most of my hunting is either Eastern woods with some Southern Texas Hog hunting. I generally dont like shots more than 100 yards (OK maybe 150 yards). Sure Id like to hunt Moose and Elk; but Im much more likely to be hunting Whitetail of Wild Boar with a chance for another Black Bear.

Given a choice I would pick a rimmed round over a rimless But maybe thats too much old school and rimless is OK? I had a 9.3x74R until a buddy liked it more. 8mm JRS seems good. 45-70 seems like the easy button. For coolness the longer 45s like 45-90, 100, 110, or the big daddy 45-120 just scream old school DR cartridges.

Would you want a SxS or O/U, Hammer or Hammerless? Whats your choice?

Im EDITING this to add a currently unavailable option, Id dearly love a double RIFLED 12 or 20 gauge
