Sure. Depends on hunting conditions

I like night hunting so night vision optics don't mate up with handguns very well. So a .308 fits nicely for that. I use a rifle for tree rats and a shotgun for rabbits, pheasant and quail. Daytime hogs and deer, within handgun ranges, the proper handgun and cartridge pair will do fine. It's a toolbox. Nighttime and longer ranges use rifle. Quick critters use the shotgun (rabbits and birds). That leaves daytime and short range; enter the handguns. Hang on to your rifles. What you think you'll never use today may change downstream. I attempted to sell a .338 WinMag twice because it was overkill for deer. 10 years later I took it to Africa and killed 8 animals with it. Four years ago I took it to Alaska for a brown bear hunt. Things change.
