In my wild and misspent youth I got by just fine with a 30-06, a bolt action 22 rimfire, a 223 bolt rifle and a pump 12 gauge shotgun. Then it started, had to have a 270, a 30-30 for brush hunting, a 22-250 just because and after the internet I had to have all the others just for testing and comment.
