Heavy short barrel stupid accurate .223.
I have many caliber rifles and I shoot and hunt with my heavy 18" barrel savage .223 the most because it is just stupid accurate.
But I will say if I had another caliber that could match it I would choose that.
I am not a name or caliber snob I just want the most accurate.
Before someone states you can't hunt elk with it.
Yea probably not but I can with a bow and arrow or a muzzleloader.
But the smoke pole may be included in the only 1 rifle category.
So there is that.
I never plan on hunting anything larger than the Oklahoma whitetail.

AR-10 in 308. As much as I dislike the AR platform, if I could only have one rifle under $1000 I think that might be the best solution. I would rather have an AK in 308 Win but the good ones I have seen are expensive and the mags are very pricey. If I could find an Enfield MK 4 in 308 win built of modern steel that would be even better but that is a dream rifle for me.
Well i have lived nearly 2/3 of my life with only one rifle and it was the Marlin 30/30 so i quess if it came down to it out of all my many many many to choose from in my safes it would have to be the one to stay.
No thank you.
Vintage Remington, or maybe a Tikka, bolt action chambered in 243 Win. It would handle everything from long range varminting to, with the right bullets, black bear. Really the only North American game out of its capacity would be brown and polar bear. A bolt action isn’t ideal for home defense, but the terms of the question would allow me to have handguns and shotguns for that.
A mid-tier AR15, because it can literally be any caliber from .22LR to .50 BMG. The baseline gun would be a 16" 5.56 with a lower marked "multi".
Since I have bought Socom 16's for a $1000, that would be my choice. If that doesn't count then at AR 15.

If I had a dollar for every time this has been asked here I could afford a lot more than one rifle.
