Your nephew loves $pending money on ammo?

All of above is strictly speculative for me...my days of packing a rifle through the brush are long gone. I've just returned from a PT session at the local hospital...trying to learn to walk again...next step to ditch the walker for a cane. Training with the cane, the PT holding on to a strap around me, I made a little over 100 feet in 3 minutes. Considering that I was 100% paralyzed on April 2nd, that's great progress...yet, depressing as hell.

IF I could afford only one "do everything" rifle & caliber? Bolt action, good variable power scope, and 7mm Remington Magnum caliber....capable of taking anything on the North American Continent.
