My smallest is a Remington 700 in .17 Remington.
Largest is an old Mauser converted to .458 Win.
Or if you go by bore diameter, an old Remington rolling block in 50-70.

Springfield Armory M-6 .22 Hornet-.410, Ruger #1 .458 Winchester, Model 1866 Springfield Trap Door .50-70.
 
My smallest would be .223, Bushmaster's & Daniel Defense and the largest my two Winchester Model 71's chambered for .348 Winchester.

One of my 71's was my grandfather's and has a 3 digit serial no. just over 100 and the other was my dad's, which is four digit. My main hunting rifle growing up was my dad's old 71, which he gave me when I turned 18.

For some reason, since that time the recoil from most anything I've fired has never bothered me and for the longest time I thought all non .22 cal. rifles kicked like a .348..........
 
22 Hornet - Springfield M6, Ruger 7722H, CZ 527FS

Biggest - bore size, 45/70, couple of Sharps, a Roller, Trapdoor, 1886 Browning and a Ruger #1.

Biggest - most powerful, 375 H&H, CZ550 Safari
 
Not much of a spread for me;
Marlin 1894 CB in .45 Colt is smallest

Springfield 1873 in .45-70 is the largest

I have the same platform for both. Winchesters model 70s. One is a 300 H&H made in 1952, and the other is a 22 hornet rechambered to .22 K-hornet and is the 1st years production, 1937.
