If you come right down to it, a .22 rimfire, a .30-06, and a 12 gauge shotgun really cover all the bases except for big African stuff.
But, this thread isn't really about NEED - it's all about WANT.
About the only calibers I'm not enamoured with are the short mag, super short mag, short action ultra mag, and other assorted latest-and-greatest mega-blasters. Not too interested in obscure old foreign military stuff, either.
Other than that, bring it on.....
Favorites - the .22 rimfire, the .223, the .264 Mag, the .30-30, the .30-06, the .45-70, the .38 Spl/.357 Mag, the .44 Spl/.44 Mag, and the .45 ACP
