What`s your smallest & largest centerfire rifle?

Right now the smallest is a 32-20 and the largest is a 45-70. Though I've owned smaller and larger.
 
I'm a simple fellow with minimal needs and I only use one centerfire rifle cartridge nowadays, I have found with hand-loads my .30-06s will do anything I need. I'm in the same boat with handguns, if a .38/.357 can't do the job then I grab the rifle. I do have plenty of rimfires. There was a time many years ago when I had more calibers than I knew what to do with.
 
I have started a new project where I will have both of these covered in one rifle.

May I present to you the .17BMG :eek: ;)

Actually my smallest is various .22s and the largest is 8mm, while the most powerful is a 308 Norma Mag.

Smallest is 6.5x54 Mannlicher Schoenauer M1903,,along with it's cousin 6.5x53R in a M92 Mannlicher sporter.

Largest bore is .500 x 3" BPE in a Rigby double
But a 470 N/E by Tolley is more powerfull.

Local Jumbo population is easily kept in check...
 
The smallest - the rather mundane .22LR in various models.

The biggest - this one. 20mm Gustav PVG 42 recoilless rifle.

Smallest are a Colt AR 15 HBAR and a Colt M4 carbine in .223. Largest are 50-70s: a Sharps M 1853 converted, a M 1866 Trapdoor, and a Springfield rolling block (apparently made under contract with Remington: has Remington patent dates on it).
 
Smallest is a .218 Bee Win Mod 92.
Largest is a 30-06 M1 Garand, though the .64 1861 Springfield has a larger bore diameter but isn't technically a centerfire I suppose.
 
Colt-Sauer in .243 and a Colt Sauer in .300Wby.

Like others I have a 45-70 lever for biggest bore size, but the Weatherby is my most powerful.
 
Mine are a CZ .17 rimfire. And a H&R in .500 S&W.
Only want to shoot the .500 about 3 times and then go to
the chiropractor for re-alignment. But it will flat out put a
Whitetails dick in the dirt.
