Every gun I've got, I've gotten for a reason. Each one fills a niche in my safe as well as my heart/consciousness. The heart is the inherited guns those I got from my Grandfather and my Father, some I hold more dear than others. Of the other guns it depends upon my mindset and what I'm wanting to do. If I'm out to burn through a lot of ammunition it's going to be one of the 22 semiautomatics, rifles or pistols here I would say the Marlin Model 60 or Colt(Walther) 22-45, although one of the other repeaters may find its way to the range. If I'm after tight groups it will still be a rimfire but one of the bolt guns instead, right now I'll say the CZ 455 American. Centerfire rifle would the M-1 Garand for the semiauto and the Enfield No4Mk1 for the bolt gun, but I do shoot the Mosin-Nagant M91/30 more, cheaper ammo. Shotgun is going to be the Browning A-5, pump gun the Remington 870 and the Stevens 311 for the break action/double barrel. Handgun is the 6 inch barreled Colt Python then a Ruger Single Six revolver and would have the 1911s in there for a close third.
I've been asked: "How many guns do you need to have?" My answer remains the same: "One more."
