My 5 essential firearms that I own that meet MY HUNTING NEEDS in KS:

Marlin 60 .22lr semiautomatic rifle: small game and running coonhounds.

Custom AR-15 16" HBAR .223rem semiautomatic rifle: Coyotes and Pdogs

Ruger M-77 Mark II .30-06 bolt action rifle: Whitetail deer

Benelli Supernova 12ga pump action shotgun: Birds, coyotes, and turkey

Ruger Super Blackhawk .44mag single action revolver: Small game, coyotes, deer

So those would be the 5 that I would hang onto if I ever came to dire straights and had to sell out. But, since variety is the spice of life, and luckily for me, I'm NOT in that dire position, I don't have to deal with limiting myself to only 5.
