Just 5 
1) Ruger Mark III in .22lr
2) Kel Tec PMR-30 in .22WMR
3) H&K MP5 SD in .22 LR
4) SMLE Mark III in .303
5) Barett 98 Bravo in .338 Lapua
I don't think US armed forces would let me have a Remington M24, otherwise that would have been in the list.
Regards

Jeff Cooper advocated four basic rules of gun safety:
1) All guns are always loaded. Even if they are not, treat them as if they are.
2) Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
3) Keep your finger off the trigger till your sights are on the target.
4) Identify your target, and what is behind it.

Ah M24... I'd planned to move to the neighboring state but they can't seem to decide who is the primary licensing authority... local DC, DTO or Railways... shucks...m24 wrote: You'll need a bigger state to put up all of them.

Re: How Many guns are enough??
Do you want a double barrelled bolt action? Likke the blaser hamid duo?Double barrel rifle by H&H in 375 H&H Belted Rimless Magnum.Should be Royal Grade.
blaser dont call it royal grade. H&H dont make it in double barrel bolt action.
Belted rimless wasnt meant for double rifles.
Is this a fantasy list or a typo or a wish for another designing innovation?
Please also give us the details of the ones you already have.
You want more gun control? Use both hands!

You can have double rifles made for belted rimless.If I am not mistaken someone posted a vintage .416 rigby made by John Rigby &co. for Maharajah of Sarguja that is a classic example.
