I have five guns in the chest of drawers by my bed. I can't contemplate life without 100.

I've culled my rifles to seven, that's as low as I'll go, at least for now...
6mm Creedmoor, Christensen Arms
270 Win X 2 = CA Ridgeline, Win 70
308 Win, Defiance Tenacity, Proof Carbon Barrel
7mm RM X 2 = CA Ridgeline, Win 70
30-06 Win 70
Ruger 10/22
Thompson Center Hawken 50 cal
All wear McMillan stocks with the exception of the 7mm Rm win 70, that's a Brown Precision.
Don't use the shotguns much but there's a Mossberg pump, 12ga turkey gun, a Beretta O/U 12 ga 3", a Beretta 303 in 20 ga and a Win 370 Youth 20 ga, my first ever gun given to me by my father when I was 8, 49 years and counting on that one!

I always get a kick out of the "in the spirit of the thread" responses of, "no way" as though if you participated it just might happen. "If your pickup blew up and you had to choose another form of transportation, what would it be?" "Um, not for me, I don't want my truck to blow up". I will participate and, no, I too don't want it to happen.
Mine:
1) Ruger 10/22 bull barrel rifle
2) Sig P365 9mm
3) Remington 870 Wingmaster 12 gauge
4) Tikka Stainless CTR 223
5) Bergara Mountain Rifle Gen 1 308

Assuming rifles.....the same quality, accurate 22 LR bolt gun that I’ve used for 21 years and my only hunting rifle of 31 years. If it ain’t broke.....😉
The rest of the money will be spent on handguns! memtb

Ha! Worked on this philosophy long ago and went off the rails. Waayy more than five ended up in my possession. Now, I've been trying to work it back down - with exceptions  1. Winchester 69A 22lr 2. Win model 12 - 12GA 3. M70 Fwt 30-06 4. Heavy revlover - Looking at S&W, Freedom Arms 44mag or Colt SAA 44 Spcl. 5. Small pistol - maybe ruger Mark V, Single Six, Colt convertable. What about a back-up rifle? What about a ???? I'll always have more tah I use or need.

This thread reminds me of the good-old light-hearted campfire days back when I joined! Nice break from all the political and whacko threads!
My 5-gun battery would be:
22LR - Volquartsen w/ Summit w/ Tract 3-9 BDC
223 Wylde - Colt/Geissle/WOA GUN-MK1.9 UPPER w/ Trijicon Credo 1-8 FFP mil-mil
270 Win - Rem 700 w/ Bushnell 3-12 LRHS FFP mil-mil
45-70 Govt - JM Marlin 1895GST w/ XS Ghost-ring sights
12ga - Benelli M2 24"

5 "guns"? I've said for years, every American needs 5.
22 rifle
12ga. Repeater (pump/auto)
30-06, 270, 308ish bolt gun
Carbine of some sort, could be AR, AK or 30-30
Pistol, choice depends on area, application, need.
For me that means,
CZ 452
Mossberg 500
Tikka T3X
AR
Glock 17
Bore size is no substitute for shot placement and
Power is no substitute for bullet performance. 458WIN

22LR
12 ga shotgun
9mm pistol
223
270 Winchester
But life would be very boring
I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects
I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

I'm gonna approach this as 5 total for the hell of it.
1) Ruger 10-22
2) AR-15 in 5.56
3) Synthetic stocked, 24-26", 12 gauge Remington 870
4) Glock 17 or 19 or 3-4" stainless revolver in 357 or 44 special - This one really depends on whether you'd want it for outdoors carry.
5) Bolt action hunting rifle of choice in either 300 win, 7mm rem, or 375 depending on how far reaching your hunting plans.
Funny enough but I don't own half of this list as I tend to have more specialized guns since we're not this limited!

All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.
