I currently own a glock 17, Marlin bolt action .22, tikka in 270, and a beretta 12 gauge semi auto. Haven't bought a gun in about a year. revolver? AR of some sort? Thoughts just for fun...

So many choices. The 6.5 creed is gaining ground in the shooting world. You could get the .460 or .500 revolver from S&W.

Looks like you have the basics, I would say a good 4 inch revolver.

A nice 1911. Everyone needs one.
A real hunter never returns empty handed. Spending time in the wilderness temporarily satifies the soul, but leaves us longing for more.

I'd buy a really nice 22lr handgun. They can be a blast to just shoot and very cheap to shoot.

Ruger 22/45 Lite and a suppressor.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

You got all your bases covered, I'd say just a fun gun. The kel tec .22 mag pistol with 30 round mags looks like a lot of fun. Or maybe a black powder rifle or a nice bow- if for no other reason than to extend your hunting season

I'd invest in a couple of cheap ar's to stick in the back of the safe for when things get crazy you can dump them 10x what they are worth. Now in reality, I'd buy either a 1911 or a colt snake gun.

Ruger 22/45 Lite and a suppressor. x2 If you don't have a suppressor, get a 22 suppressor and some cci sv ammo. Best firearms related purchase I've made. Complete blast!

Varmint round... 223 or 22-250. I have 22-250 but 223 would fill your AR want as well.

Which one do you shoot or enjoy the most? I have all the bases covered, but I love the centerfire rifles in oddball or harder to find calibers. So, that is what I generally buy to add to my arsenal. My wife loves to shoot handguns so every once in a while I throw her a bone and get another handgun...lol. That way she doesn't gripe too much when I get a new rifle! Of course, I haven't told her about the old Ruger tang safety 257 Roberts my buddy who owns a pawn shop sent me pictures of a couple of days ago. It's going to look good next to the Hawkeye in 264 Win Mag I just got from him. Heck-I vote for you to find an old tang safety Ruger in something smaller than the 270 you have. Whatever you get though, you will no doubt enjoy it and that is the main thing.

I agree with many above:
22 pistol (Ruger revolver, 22/45, or Kimber) 44 Mag (4-5" red hawk) AR in 223
I'll add a Browning O/U

22 handgun of some flavor Semi-auto 22 of some flavor 223 and/or 243 to have something 'smaller' than your 270 338 Fed, 358 Win, or similar to have something 'larger' than your 270 20 gauge O/U of some flavor 6.5 'somethingorother' just because you don't have that caliber reloading tools, dies, bullets, powder, brass, primers and other assorted reloading toys - so you can keep shooting all of the above.

I would buy a good lever action in .30-30.
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

I'd either go with another smaller compact or subcompact handgun, either another 9mm semi auto or a carry revolver in 38 or 357, or go with an AR.

22 pistol Pump action shotgun (everyone should own one in my opinion for home defense and a backup when bird hunting) AR15

I think everybody should own a lever action.

I wouldn't buy a new gun just because I hadn't bought one in a while.
What do you want?

My choice would be the .22 handgun of some sort. Semi-auto or revolver, most likely a vintage one selected from Gun broker or GA.
