Hmmmm, tough choice amongst my calibers- .300WM, .30-06, .308, .28AI, .260, .22-250, .223, 22lr. But if I had to choose 3 primaries and 1 come and go:
1. .280AI - If I had to choose just one it would be one of my .280AI because of versatility of the bullet choices and ballistics, plus they're light and easy to carry.
2. .300WM
3. .260
4. .308 or .30-06
Does adding a 5th further define someone as a rifle looney?
5. 22lr- gotta have a rimfire.
We have enough youth, how about a fountain of SMART???

Nothing looney about a 223 & 243! A lot of practical lists, but once again, nothing looney. A looney has: 222, 223, and 22-250 6mm Creed and a 243 7mm, 325 WSM, and 270, 30-06, 338win mag How could I forget a 6.5 Creed? 3 rifle list is not even in a looney's vocabulary.

I'd get by fine with a .22LR, .223 and .30-06. Hell I got by fine for years with a .22LR, .30-30 and 12 gauge and could do so again. I'd really miss my .22 mag.,.223, .22-250, .243 and 16 and 20 gauges though.

I’ve thought a few times about selling all my rifles and just having Melvin Forbes build me a .260 (or 6.5 CM), a 7mm WBY, and a .338 Win
I probably hit more elk with a pickup than you have with a rifle. I have yet to see anyone claim Leupold has never had to fix an optic. I know I have sent a few back. 2 MK 6s, a VX-6, and 3 VX-111s.

I think I might go 257 Roberts, 7x57 and 9.3x62 with number four always a 30-06. Cause you always gotta have 30-06.
Of course I like to always have a 30-30 around and a 22 rimfire.
I can see this already getting complicated. I think I'll just keep buying more.
