Of the guns I have today, the "all around" shotgun (a concept I refuse to embrace, but....) would have to be my 12 gauge Ruger Red Label. I've used it long and hard for every shotgun purpose. It's functioned perfectly, it's seemed bullet proof, and I can hit with it. CF rifle would be my Sako 85 6.5X55. Rimfire (and here I'll cheat a little bit) would be my Sako Quad. That's the practical selection.
Impractical but sentimental selection from what I have now would be (rimfire) Savage/Anschutz 141M .22 WMR. Centerfire would be my (original style) Ruger .44 carbine and shotgun would still be the Red Label.
I've always sort of envied the guys who get by with a 3 gun selection. I don't know how they do it. Both of my brothers only see guns as something to hunt with or carry for protection, they are not "gun guys" in any sense of the word, yet they each own probably 25 or 30 guns.
