Yeah I don't hunt birds, but I disagree with you on small to mid sized game. But based on the OP criteria, my 6920 does win on ammo/parts, ease of maintenance, reliability, and I am effective with it.

I don't recall the OP saying what is the best rifle you have for hunting animals.

Eh, if I had to pick one it would be pic rel, but I would either put my ACOG back on or get a magnifier for the eokek. Realistically though I think a rifle and pistol are necessary. If I had to give it all up though, it would be what I felt I was most familiar with, that's reliable, and offers the most capability.
