Just light conversation, no need for heavy debate. The last five to get rid of in your mind.

Functional:
1) Ruger stainless laminate 10/22, 1-4.5 Nikon Turkey plex.
2) Remington 870 Police with extra 28" barrel 12g.
3) LMT M4, DD for end, LPVO lit
4) G19X
5) Bergara HMR .308/ SS 35-15

Sentimental:
1) Ruger stainless laminate 10/22, 1-4.5 Nikon Turkey plex. Lot of rounds through it, a perfect bumming, plinking and game getter.
2) Dad's Model 14 6" .38
3) Dad's Garand
4) If I could get it back- my GA Precision Rock Jr
5) If I could get it back- my Winchester 70 Carbine in .250 Savage

I have owned MANY guns over the last 40 years, only kept a handful but I do think about all the ones that "got away" so I could have something else. Handmade flintlock's always put a smile on my face. I was never much good with them but they are a joy to hold and shoot. The 7.5 Schmidt Rubin was a super well designed and machined rifle, a real shame more makers did not pick that design.

Five till the end of my days. The list of guns I've sold is heartbreaking. From an 1893 Dickson underlever hammergun to a full set of Winchester Model 70 Featherweights and a couple Mannlicher-Schoenauer carbines. I will add the Anschutz next spring when we finish the house we’re building.

Marchone,
Beautiful! We are definitely not playing in the same park.

Mine are largely unchanged.

Functional:
1) Ruger stainless laminate 10/22, 1-4.5 Nikon Turkey plex.
2) 16" RECCE build AR
3) CVA Scout 300 AAC
4) Model 14 6" .38
5) Bergara Ridge 6.5 CR

Sentimental:
1) Ruger stainless laminate 10/22, 1-4.5 Nikon Turkey plex. Lot of rounds through it, a perfect bumming, plinking and game getter.
2) Dad's Model 14 6" .38
3) Dad's Garand
4) If I could get it back- my GA Precision Rock Jr
5) If I could get it back- my Winchester 70 Carbine in .250 Savage
 
Functional: in no particular order.
1. Ruger SS Single Six Convertible .22 LR/WMR
2. Ruger SS SP101 .357
3. Ruger GSR .308
4. Remington 870 12 ga
5. RUGER 10/22 TD .22 LR

Sentimental: in no particular order.
1. Dads old single shot .22 LR he bought new in 1933.
2. Marlin Model 780 .22 LR the first gun I puchased.
3. Marlin single shot .22 LR was my grandmothers ruflw and I got it and cleabed it up at 15 yo.
4. Ruger 22/45 .22 LR
5. Ruger SS GP100 .357 my first .357 and I should have bought one 25 years becore that!
 
Now I’m thinking of picking up a Ruger Mark IV Standard Grade for a side arm to protect the dogs from Bobcats/Red Lynx. In the Catskills they’re up to 16 individuals every 100 sq mi. Hunting season in Sullivan County sees a dozen or so at the local taxidermist every year.
 
Simple:

- 3 x M1a (1st loaded and scoped, 2nd standard with scout scope, 3rd a Tanker)
- and our two Berettas (her M9, my 92FS) with steel upgrades.

All we’ll ever need. Plus enough 308 and 9mm ammo.
