If you could only keep three guns, what would they be?

I seem to periodically have some version of this discussion with friends, so it made me curious to know what my AH forum friends would choose.

If you could only keep three guns, what would they be?

Custom 44 mag 5 shot subnose
Colt ar in 6.5 Grendel
338 win mag ruger m77

For hunting, three long guns:
22LR rifle, 12 GA O/U shotgun, bolt action 30-06.

12 gauge
22 lr
30/06

I think this combo has been mentioned before.

It’s gaining traction and would work for many if we are forced to choose but just 3 seems a little tough.

1: Blaser R8 with 22 Hornet. I can download with cast bullets to cover the need for a rimfire and regular loads for varmints
2: Sako 85 in 6.5 x 55
3; Benelli SB III in 28 gauge with TSS loads

If things have gotten bad enough for me to be down to three guns, I won’t be going anywhere not local to hunt. I think I can cover most everything I might see with that

Wow......what a broad and generalized question. .308 Win, 300 Win Mag, .416 Rem Mag

Blaser R8 with 375H&H, 300WM and 257WBY barrels.

Benelli SBE3 12 bore, 3.5” chamber and 28” barrel

Daniel Defense DD4 MK18 RIII SBR 556NATO

Sorry, that’s cheating, only one barrel allowed for your Blaser!
