We can even break it down into a few categories that you may need to cover. Of course one gun may cover several of these areas.

Defense
Big game
Small game
Varmints
Competition
blackpowder
Anything additional that you need

​​What are you buying, at a minimum, to get yourself back up and running?

No "wrong" answers here. Just what you would personally grab if you had to restart quickly.

Defense: Rock Island .45 1911
Big game: Ruger M77, any caliber
Small game: 1st dbl barrel I can find in 12 or 20
Varmints: I don't hunt them except by chance
Competition: NA
blackpowder: NA

I could conceivably get this all at the local Ace Hardware store in town.
Or the Business supply store across town. In under an Hour.
