"Must have" guns.
List some of the rifles, shotguns, MLs, or handguns, you think every gun owner, & hunter should own, at least one of.
Edit- actually, what I mean is, what makes, models and calibers, are so well designed, and useful, anyones collection would incomplete with out em?

A good .22 Lr for small game and low cost fun/practice.
A centerfire that's best suited to handle the big critters you actually hunt rather than one that can handle anything and everything on the face of the earth.
A 12g pump action (two barrel combo) with several chokes.

If I was limited, and thank the Good Lord I'm not, I would have to say a 12 ga shotgun, a 30-06 bolt action and a .22 rimfire would be my choice for a minimum arsenal. If I had to include a handgun into this it would be a revolver in .357 with a 4 or 6" barrel.
My picks are solely based on versitility. There are better choices for different areas, but for all north america, these would be my picks.

I would say that you need a few fireams just to get by with.
Kimber-22lr.
Savage Accu-Triger/Accu-Stock rifle chambered in 223
Remington Model-700 30-06
Remington 870 Wing Master 12-gauge shotgun
Kimber Model 1911 45-acp pistol.
I would also add to the list if it fits into the budget a custom made rifle. I myself would like a Cooper or Nosler custom rifle chambered in 338-06 or 280-A.I.

Ill go with:
-a mandatory set of a 870 26"- 28", and a 700/leupold 24-30 cal
-Defiantly a 10-22 or model 60
-a s&w 629, or super BH, or redhawk, in 44mag
- An AR15 223, or AK variant, or SKS 7.62
- an old ithaca 37 or, winchester 12, or browning auto5 for nostalgia
- everyone should have a muzzleloader , I prefer the savage 10ml.
