[QUOTE="djm670, post: 1663246, member: 36341"] I think the minimum has to be 6 .22LR .223 6 mm Remington 6.5 PRC .30-06 12 gauge 3" shotgun But then under .22's you need lever, pump, bolt and semi auto actions. Need a .17m2, .17 hmr and/or a 5 mm Remington for the longer shots at gophers A .17 Remington for the really long shots at gophers A .220 Swift for those longer shots at woodchucks and coyotes... to spell the 6 mm remington One needs a cowboy lever action .30-30 or .45-70 with an octagon barrel for shooting one's second deer...or a black bear in the huckle berry patch for memories of an earlier time. A 20 gauge for shooting pats.. and grouse And darn, I almost forgot my favorite .25-06 for shooting coyotes, bobcats, cougar, antelope, deer and elk. And it goes on and on... No way can a person live with 3 long rifles and I am glad we don't have too. And if I had grown up east of the Mississippi or in a large city, would probably had to have a .300 WM and/or a .338 Lapua for shooting elk. [/QUOTE]
