Welcome to the Forum - I think what you have now is a great collection. The .06 alone will do just about anything needing done in a SHTF scenario. The .223's can have ammo found everywhere.

NEED is a personal opinion. If you think you need more, you will probably find a weapon that makes perfect sense to you to own.

At least that is how it works for me.

Sounds like a fine collection ! Welcome !
An accurate 22lr rifle and a quality 12g might
make it easier for small game. Hand gun for
me is important, also.

I'm also a vet from 1966-70, with 11 months
in and around Danang.

Good job on the 300 Wmag. Thats what alot of our boys are sniping with these days, as it packs some extra wallop that the ol 7.62 cant provide.

I know Navy distance shooters use it alot, That and the .338 Lapua.

You could do a lot worse than what you have. Link- scroll WAY down the left side, look for article called "Minimum Battery". Author is a friend who is faculty at Virginia Tech. THE NEW RIVER VALLEY OUTDOORSMAN

While a shotgun has much less range than any rifle, there are times they are very useful, and a handgun is much more portable.

setting back watching the world go by, ive come to think that the MESS is going to be sooner rather than later, so ive added 6 new wepons, 1 i bought 1 out right the other 5 i orderd parts and spent some time in the work shop assembeling 5 m4 carbines, 4 in 5.56 and 1 in 6,8 spc' the help listed in this forum made the 1st one a good wepon but they got better as i got used to the flow and didnt try any short cuts, many thanks from me and mine to you and yours
