What caliber choices in your safe

Ideally:

.22 LR - target, small game, plinking
.223 Rem - target, varmints
.270 Win - all CXP2 and some CXP3 at most ranges. Best coverage of pronghorn, sheep, deer and moose.
.375 H&H Magnum - CXP3 and 4 at most ranges. Best middle ground between .338 Win Mag and .458 Win Mag/Lott. Hard hitting with practical range and recoil one can deal with.
12 gauge - clay, birds and bears

Sprinkle with .22 magnum, .22 Hornet, .30-30, .308, .30-06, and .458 Lott to taste. A rifle in .357 magnum would be a beautiful thing. Ruger should make a 77/357.

i try to stick with the most common calibers. my next 3 guns will be .308/.338 (same gun) .223 and 12ga
 
Interesting to see if I can remember without doing an inventory? I guess if I only have to list 'Calibres' and not #'s of each, it should be simple enough!!!

You guys make me look stingy:

.22LR
.270 Win
.300 Win Mag (not used much)
.375 H&H (not used much since I got the .416)
.416 Ruger
12 ga. double

And to think I was thinking of getting rid of one or two of them...
