Let's assume that you already have a .22LR rifle of some sort. You want an "all-purpose" centerfire rifle...what action type? Semi-auto, lever, bolt, single-shot, etc.? Caliber? Would you want something to match a handgun caliber that you have? Let's assume that this rifle would be capable of taking most typical North American game animals up to deer size, wouldn't break the bank buying ammo, and could potentially be useful in a survival situation. Also, please keep the purchase price at a level that the average person would be able to afford.

This is just a hypothetical question. I've got some centerfire rifles in various calibers...just thought it would be interesting to hear the forum's opinions if "you could only have one".
