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.

That means "Something like this", for me. I'm pretty sure I could pare the collection down. And if I did I'd likely keep only my .260 or my 25-06.
But... To go beyond that and consider parting with my H&R/Sako .222 or My old .243 or my old .17 Rem or the .300 Win or the .308 or HEAVEN FORBID, MY .300 Savage? Maybe to save a grandchild's life...
