I don't think I can list ten but I will try. I can list a few that have paid for themselves, been true keepers, and have been used as real tools in real life experiences.
I own many more than ten, but these have been the most useful and economically the "best bang for the buck".
Ruger 10/22 - Most fun, cheap to shoot, and has put food on the table.
Marlin 39A - See above (I switch between the two)
Benelli M1Super90 12Gauge- By far the most used and best $ spent. Taken deer, ducks, rabbits, grouse, pheasants, and more. Not so much geese. See below.
Benelli Nova Pump - This used to be my main shotgun before the M1Super90, but at 9 pounds it got a little heavy for upland hunting. It has a 3 1/2" chamber while the M1 only has a 3" so I only use the Nova for geese now. I hunt geese in a boat so I don't have to carry it on long walks and the 3 1/2" gives me the advantage needed to take geese clean.
Smith & Wesson Model 642 - Best everyday, everywhere you go self defense gun. No more explination required.
Smith & Wesson Model 66 with Marlin 1894 .357MAG partner. Count this as one. If you have the skills, there is really not much you cannot acomplish with this combination.
Up to six now...??? hmmmm.
Glock 19/23 OR 17/22 Depending of caliber choice/size. Regardless, I know this is a great platform. Some say the Glock is a non-userfriendly weapon system for a noobie. I disagree. I carry a 23 daily.
The 1911 Platform - Definitley a favorite. Worth a whole new thread(considering the amount of makers out there). That being said, I have retired my Kimber Pro-Carry for a Glock. 1911's Rule, but plan some time to baby them. I'll leave it at that.
Room for two rifles.
I'm stumped now.
Probably a good quality bolt in .308 and something in the line of
an AK or AR.
