Guns are my business but also a hobby and a passion for me.
I could easily do it all with one 22 LR and one 30-06, but that is more "mission specific" than a hobby allows.


I enjoy the guns all years, all the time and I shoot 4-5 times a week. I hunt only 3 to 15 days a year. (for my own game,) For a mission specific rifle (one gun for all hunting) a 30-06 or even my 375H&H would do everything need, but not all I want.
If I wanted the closest thing to a one gun fits all may be a Ruger SR762 or a good FN-FAL. Hunting, fun shooting, fighting, varmints, targets and so on. Not the best for most hunting or competition, but "ok" for nearly everything.

But I'd get bored pretty fast with only one.
