What's everyone's 3 guns they most own?

Been thinking bout my small collection and was just curious to what other people thought on what 3 guns you must have in the safe at all times? Not meaning brand and all that just caliber. Not wanting to start a ruger vs Remington arguement lol. I feel like a smaller .22/.17, shotgun 12 gauge for me and a medium sized rifle 243 to 308 range

.22, 7mm08 bolt action, 12 gauge shot gun-that will pretty well cover anything.
Nothing wrong with your list too.

22lr, 308 Win, 12 guage - eta 45 ACP.

45
30-06
22

Ditto....

Add a pistol in .45 ACP or .40 S&W....

AR15 with 22LR conversion
308/30-06
12 Gauge auto loader

.22LR
7mm-08
12 ga.

All of the above

.22LR, 9mm, 12 gauge by # of guns.

Most use:

9mm, .308, 12 gauge

My top 3: 10/22, old Beretta 12 gauge, Colt 1911

My 223, 6.5, SKS, or 30-30 would be next on the list, depending on the situation: I use the 223 the most, the SKS would be most appropriate in a zombie apocalypse, but the 30-30 is the most handy gun for where I'd go in a SHTF situation.

Short bbl 12 gauge/ .40 cal. for close range
.308 1-4x24 scoped AR10 for medium range
.308 4-20x50 scoped rifle for long range

That covers me from 0-800+ yards. I can defend & survive w/these.

decent size centerfire 243,270,etc

rimfire 22lr or larger, could see a pistola instead of this... personal preference

12g shotty

take your pick on size and the flavor but that's really all anyone needs...

-.22lr, rifle

-Centerfire short action (bolt action) 7mm-08 for me.

-Pump 12 ga. 2 3/4" or 3"

A guy could feed himself anywhere on the continent with those three.

The .22lr and 12 ga could be substituted for a Savage 24, and get two for one. Then a pistol could be added to the list. I think for reliability sake a revolver, or bad as I hate to say it, a Glock.

AR 556
AR 308
Custom 10-22

I look at must haves for more than just hunting. Also availability and weight of ammo.

I've made sure I'm well stocked for these 3.

.357 Magnum-Colt Python
30.30-Winchester model 94 / pre-64
300 WSM-Browning

If sourcing ammo was not an issue.
12 ga....any type
17 HMR
375 ultra

If I have to find ammo anywhere
12 ga
22lr
375 HH or 30-06...

Good point, I was only thinking rifle for some reason.

So, added 45 ACP.

.22, .257 Wby, 20 ga semi auto.

Pistol, shotgun, rifle

Agree.

30-06, 22-250, 12 gauge

I wont even go into caliber. because it all depends on the shooter's location and range needed to hit the target. But a good shotgun, pistol, and rifle. Too many calibers that can work well to say this one or that one.

.270
12 gage
AR-15

.22
10mm
Ar

I might be overthinking this, but IMO it depends on the scenario in which the question is being considered.

Scenario 1 - zombie apocalypse/Collapse of civil society/doomsday prepper
2x AR 15
9mm or similar high capacity semi automatic.

Alternatively, one of the AR15 could be swapped for Barrett 82A1. The size of the ammo pile is probably more important than the caliber here.

Scenario 2 - everything is ok, I just want to hunt
.22lr pistol
Center fire bolt action between .243 and 30-06
12 gauge

Savage 24F .223 over 12ga 3"
30.06 or .308
1895 45-70

1. A highly tuned custom gripped pin barreled S&W M60, stuffed with Norma 110gr JHP's, that has spent lots more nights snuggled with me than the BH ever did during the outside rep years "back in the travelling days".

2. a 12 guage pump stuffed with 3" 000 & a 20guage single shot cylinder choke on her side of the bed stuffed with #9 skeet loads.

3. 4-5 to ?? CF hunting rifles 6.5 to 9.3 & a pair of 70's era Marlin 22lr's.

An old friend and combat veteran of the Dark Side taught me with regard to self defense weapons..."Familiarity breeds a Comfortable Response to a real or percieved Threat when you can't didimau anymore"

.22
12 gauge
Centerfire rifle

22lr
12 gauge
308 or 30-06 - due to ammo availabilty

I think an AR and handgun would round it out nicely. There isn't much you couldn't due with that collection.

22 & 12ga then a 6.8 AR or 308 bolt rifle, the last one changes daily

10/22
rem 700 in 270
browning A5 12ga

everything else is just showing off

MO

If I had to pick just 3 out of my safe, .357 revolver, .22 autoloader, and my Mossberg 500 because I can swap out barrels and hunt almost anything. I have a regular ribbed 28" with 3 chokes, a rifled scoped slug barrel, a muzzleloader barrel, and an 18" cylinder choke barrel for when things turn nasty up close.

I guess the interchangeable barrels is sort of cheating though.
