Feel’s gross to talk about only having/using five rifles. But I’ll play along.
Browning BL-22 for small vermin
Ruger American 8 twist 22-250 for bigger vermin, and antelope if needed
Custom Remington 700 257 WBY for Deer and Antelope
Remington 700 300 Win Mag for elk
Remington 11-87 12 gauge. Ducks and geese.

5 rifles would cover everything I do pretty nicely, but I definitely have more. Here would be my line up, mix of function and class. I like nice walnut, and synthetic as well. This is from my current line up, and would give me plenty of overlap and cover all my bases for North America.
1. Cz452 22LR
2. Tikka T3x .223 rem
3. Tikka T3x 270 win (or 6.5 cm)
4. Kimber classic select 30-06
5. Legendary arms works Professional 300 win Mag.

I'll try:
17 Hornet
223 Tikka T3 Hunter
6mm Remington
308 Tikka T3
338 Federal or 9,3x62
I'll use Seafire's data to download my 223 loads to 22LR, 22 Mag and 22 Hornet.
The 6mm Remington and 338 Federal are barrels for my R8.
The 338 Federal could be replaced by the 9,3x62 R8 barrel and would really up my game.
There are 2 rules to success:
1. Never tell everything that you know.

That's easy. I have no interest in Africa, Big Bears, or Varmints, apart from gophers...
22lr scoped, w/ backup open sights - 77/22 All Weather
Lightweight 308 - Kimber MT
Midweight 308 w/ backup open sights - M70 SS
12 Gauge Pump Shotgun - Remington 870
Glock 19 or SS 4" Ruger Security Six - I have both but push to shove would probably go Glock.

Still the same as has been for 30+ years.....a good , scoped, 22 rim fire, bolt action rifle and my .375 AI. No reason to alter that which works! memtb

Been a bit since this topic has crossed the board unless I missed it....? I think you did, all 800 times. Probably 900. I know you’re right & it’s a ridiculous topic in general, however it’s nice to see how peoples preferences evolve throughout the years and how incoming sportsmen & women might see things. Anyhow…2022!

Ruger super singlesix convertible my wife gave me for our first anniversary 30 years ago
Ruger 77/22 mag I got from one of my oldest friends
Semi custom Remington 700 .243
Semi custom Remington 700 .270 my dad gave me when I was 16

If I could add one more it’d be a smith and Wesson model 60 3” .357 that my dad also gave me.

I like the way you fix things! It is all fun, but unless some severe lifestyle changes have to happen, there is no way I could I would ever get down to five firearms. Hunting, firearms and bows are pretty much all I do besides work and family.

I always think of hunting rifles when these questions arise, and I always answer the same. That said if “battery” goes beyond hunting rifles.....a few more than 5! memtb
