I’ll try just for giggles. CZ 455 stainless in 22 mag. Remington model seven predator in 223. Remington mountain rifle in 7x57. Mark X mauser actioned custom stocked 9.3x62. Remington 870 12 gauge with modified 28” and smooth bore 20” barrels. I think with these 5 similarly configured actions (except the pump) and cartridge choices, I could hunt just about anything, comfortably.
Its not always easy to do the right thing, But it is always the right thing to do.

I'd start with the classic 3-gun battery: .22lr, 12 ga, and deer rifle. Whatever flavors you prefer.
Add a .223 bolt gun (left handed mini mauser) and a .38 j-frame (S&W 36).
If living in a warzone, swap in an AR and a Glock.

Ruger 10/22 .22LR Vanguard .240 WBY Mauser .35 Whelen Weatherby MK5 .340 WBY Benelli 12ga.
Maybe a little over gunned with the .240, but it shoots amazing. My other current option in that slot is a Mauser .257 Bob.

Could be a 5 gun overall or just a a 5 gun hunting battery. Fun to read however you want to play it. Btw - I couldn’t narrow it down any easier than any of you guys - it’s just been a long snowy day & I was curious.
I do see lots of love for CZ .22LR’s - I have to agree, my 455 is a great gun.
So many great responses!

5 ought to get it done but leaves no room for fun. If I had to be restricted…. 357 revolver or 9mm auto (357 Blackhawk) 17hmr for hunting or 22 for plinking (suppressed 17HMR) 6.5-308 general purpose rifle (6.5 Grendel) 300-375 large rifle (35 Whelen) Shotgun of choice (16 ga Ithaca)

I could survive with these three left hand:
1) Rem 581 .22LR suppressed 2) Rem 700 KS 270 Win 3) Benelli SBE 12ga
Everything else is just a "want"...

$h1t, I have about a dozen rifles I don't need. I have a different list but the same last line. Maybe it’s time to reconsider.

2022 i'm gonna roll
18" rifle length gas ar build.. 55gr for practice, 77 for killing
switch to 22lr upper for plinking/practice
all others are going into long term storage. won't see them until middle of 2023 at the earliest. if i can't kill it with a 77gr tmk then it doesn't need to be killed. i'll borrow back the 6br i loaned if i get lucky on elk tag/tags.
