My centerfire battery limited to "need", if not necessarily to "want", would realistically require only the following which I have or could easily acquire:
Rifle - Model 94 (.32 WS or .30-30)
Revolver - S&W Model 67 (.38 Special)
Shotgun - Remington 1100 (or 870) 12 Gauge, or the equally useful to me 20 guage
My rimfire needs would include the following:
Rifle - Ruger 10/22 (Stainless/Laminate)
Revolver - S&W Model 17
The above are what could legitimately be declared as necessary for GoatGuy's needs at this time in his life. This battery would take care of hunting, both large and small game I'm liable to chase after. Farm use is covered as is home defense and concealed carry, if necessary.
Have any of you here really looked at your minimum requirements, have redundant inventory and truthfully come to any similar conclusions?
Please Lord, don't let me be the only one out there. I'd feel kinda lonely.
