1. Drilling Rifle, such as a Blaser D99 in 12/76, .308/.30-06 and .223 or a similar combination. A shotgun barrel, a barrel for small game and a barrel for medium/big game. That would cover 99% of all hunting situations.
2. Mauser 98 in 8x57IS - a modern version of course. Reliable, idiot-proof and loads of options and parts available. Besides I ju
3. I suppose I should have a handgun so a S&W 686 in .357
4. a Shotgun in 12/76. I'm not sure actually what kind. I suppose a double barreled would be enough and the most reliable.
5. I would leave a slot open for now... probably for a military style Assault rifle.

No dream guns here. If I only get 5, there's a reason why and I want 5 I already own and have faith in. Those would be my choices for "living on my own" which is how I view threads like this. When I'm limited like that I pick the 5 that will RELIABLY cover everything from squirrels to Grizzly.

Okay. I can do this...
1. S&W Model 10/64/13/65 round butt with a 3 inch heavy barrel .38 Special/.357 Magnum. (I have a .357 Magnum S&W Model 13-3.)
2. S&W Model 36/37/38/60/49/638/649 in .38 Special/.357 Magnum. (I have a nickel-plated .38 Special S&W Model 37.)

(I have a blued 581-series Ruger Mini-14 with an ATI Strikeforce stock with forward handgrip, flashlight, Weaver K2.5 in Ruger rings, Sightmaster red dot. I'm thinking of having the barrel shortened to 16.5 inches, threaded, and fitted with a flash hider that will mount a suppressor.)
4. Remington 870 Express 12 gauge with 28 inch VRB with RemChoke and an 18/20 inch barrel with IC choke. (Got one with the VRB and a 20 inch barrel with rifle sights. Thinking about a Blackhawk M4-type stock and matching forearm.)
5. a. Marlin 1894C .357 Magnum carbine. (Gotta get me one a these!) Or,
5. b. H&R .357 Magnum single shot carbine. Or,
5. c. H&R .500 S&W single shot carbine. (For those times when you have to kill a truck.)

Wow, it took 37 posts for someone to mention a Marlin 39 .22 lever.
Put me down for three JM Marlin 39M's and two 39A's, limited editions & engraved if possible.
After 2 years or so of everyone having their 5 survival, blingy and black guns, they will all remember how much fun it was to shoot a walnut-stocked lever .22. At that point I will be able to trade for whatever the heck I want or need, or can rent them out for big bucks by the hour.

I thought these came around bi-weekly, not semi-annually........
But they are still interesting to see how many would pick cheap everyday guns instead of adding something a little more fun/upscale/custom

There was a time not long ago when I felt like five guns was "more than enough" for the practical owner. Now I feel like being limited to five guns leaves me with a few tough decisions...
1. Glock 19 - an EDC and enjoyable range pistol
2. CZ 452 - quality 22LR rifle
3. Winchester M70 EW .270 - hunting
4. Colt 6920LE - HD
5. Browning Citori White Lightning 12ga - hunting/clays
