The 308 and 358 could be changed out for the 30-06 and the 35 Whelen if you need bigger thumpers.

Which 4 would y'all keep? Before making pronouncements, I'd like to know what you intend on doing with them going forward.

I would keep the:
250-3000, with cast bullets it makes a great plinking/small game round, bump it up to 75's and you have a great coyote rig, and depending on the barrel twist a good deer rifle..
7x57 Winchester it will just about any big game hunting you want to do
35 Whelen, you have to have a big gun
7mm Weatherby/6.5x300 to play the LR game.
With the proceeds from the sale of the others a nice little 222 Rem or 223 sporter

Looks like the .257 Roberts and 7x57 M70 are on almost every short list. I have a few .223/5.56 but they aren’t bolt guns....

My wants would likely be different than your needs, but you said what would I keep:
.300 Weatherby Mk V .257 Roberts R77 .30-06 V .35 Whelen M700
I’m not sure what Model a “V” is. But I’d have to have a 30-06.
The 7x57 could replace one of those...

I'd probably keep the .358, .257 Roberts, .35 Whelen, and 6.5x.300. That would depend somewhat on how accurate each is compared to the others. Tom

This is blasphemy. That said, I reckon you have a good reason. Do you mind responding to the questions about what type of shooting and hunting you want to do, and maybe a bit about why you need to trim to 4 rifles? Do you need to raise some money for something? That argues to sell the .358 M99 as it is certainly worth a bunch, but I'd sure hate to let mine go - leaving tomorrow on an elk hunt with it. Are you downsizing your home? Dealing with mortality and taking some strain off your heirs (bless you if so, though we all are aren't we)? What kind of rifles make you the most happy? I think we'd all like to know your circumstances.
Cheers, Rex

Keep or sell them all. Doesn't matter to me.
When I want to thin the herd I start with two rifles in the same or similar caliber. Take those two out and shoot them. Whichever doesn't suit me goes. Put the rifle up for sale and after it's gone then I'll pick two more to take out for a trip to the range. Pick one to keep, one to sell. Keep it simple.

I still deer hunt, elk hunt, and shoot the occasional varmint. Bear , maybe. Maybe I’ll take Uncle Alps advice and take the pairs of 7x57 and 7mm Weatherby to the range and dump the two that shoots the least and start there.
I have no ulterior motive to finance anything or downsize our home. Just thinking about too many rifles that I never use.

Keep the rifles you can't replace with just a little shopping. That means the Savage 99 in .358 tops my list of keepers. You decide the rest.

In this time of peak firearm and ammo sales I find 270 win and often 243win available in factory ammo.
Here's my minimum
AR 5.56 with an 22lr upper. This covers a lot of ground itself.
30-30 win. I like it and ammonis common
308 win or 30-06. Nothing needs said here but a person needs a popular 30cal rifle.
Optional would be an 44mag or 45-70 levergun if you were into a hobby of shooting and reloading and casting your own bullets. This is hobby status and not necessary.
If a person just didn't care for the 30cal rifles I would 100% have the 270win in that slot because it's availability in many rifles and ammo is very common.
Thats really it. 4 or 5 do a good job of taking care of everything. Wish I could whittle it down to that myself. Throw in a shotgun and an revolver and pistol and your truly outfitted.

Shucks, you just aren't shooting enough! keep the rifles and shoot more. Winters coming start thinking about reloading more. Don't slow down speed up. good luck!

You obviously like 99s, so keep either the .250 or the .300. Beyond that, the -06 or the .35 would likely take care of anything else you might need to shoot. Those two should be sufficient.

I've been chipping away at the herd. Pretty close to utah708's list now, only the 280 is a Sauer 7X64. No .223 and no plans for one. Just picked up a Steyr Mannlicher FS in 6.5X55, so the Tikka T3x in 6.5 Creed just might need a new home. Have the 9.3X62 in a CZ550. It will stay. Many pistols have gone, only S&W now, and a couple of 1911's. Given several to kids and relations. Retirement move soon so now time to look at the reloading stuff..

IWAM,
am not amazed at how long this thread has gone on.
I haven't made suggestions because my choices would (as have all the "answers" so far) reflected my personal prejudices--which are often based on experiences and emotion, like the preferences of most humans about anything.
So I would suggest choosing those rifles that have provided the most to your experience and emotions. This is partly because within certain broad cartridges and "ballistics" really don't make that much difference.
