    .22 rifle either ruger 10/22 or marlin semi.
    Rem 870 12g

    Then you need a 9mm handgun

    Those are the must haves IMO after you have those then widen out your guns to fill some other roles like a .22 handgun a .45, etc

    I could maybe use an adjustable-stock bolt-action .22LR (whether it exists or not:D), but I have a semi, so that's [mostly] covered.

    Besides that, I think a scoped .270 for hunting/versatility, any semi-auto .223, and something in a pistol caliber that you already have in a handgun.

    I'll get an older Winchester pump 22 one of these days.

    Got to love those, I have an older Winchester 62 thats been in the family. But I bought two of the Rossi clones with 16" barrels from a member here. There is a reason these were staples for County fairs at the turn of the century because they are super fun!

    People beat up on Rossi but they generally do what they need to do, but get the one with the safety. The pre-safeties have a weird hammer safety built in that takes a bit of getting used to, not that big a deal once you have it figured out but it through me for a loop. My safety model in 17HMR doesnt do it.

    My next must have is

    Winchester Trails End 30-30 Takedown
    A paid of Winchester 70 featherweights in 257 roberts, one for me and one for my father.

    Ok - here I reposted with the model as requested;

    Semi auto 22lr , Ruger 10/22, Marlin 60, or Henry A7 survival rifle

    Lever action 22lr (Henry Golden Boy)

    Bolt action Rem 700, Ruger American, or equivalent in a mainstream medium caliber (e.g. 243, 270, 308, 30-06)

    AR style rifle (Windham Weaponry Varmint Exterminator, or similar HBAR AR rifle that is still legal in MD)

    Semi-auto 308 (Armalite 10 A4)

    20 gauge rifled slug, semi-auto or pump (Remington 1187, 1100, or 870)

    Mosin Nagant Carbine M38/M44/M59 (fires cheap 7.62 surplus rifle ammo)

    Black powder flintlock; it'll be the last one they take away.

    SCAR 17S (in de-banned configuration, I'd rather keep the muzzle break, and just pin the folding stock - will just have to wait and see how they come configured into the state)

    AR-10 HBAR
    SCAR 17S
    SCAR 17S
    SCAR 17S

    Must haves for me, a custom 10/22 such as a Volquartsen, a high end bolt 22,a Cooper will do, a nice tactical 308, a nice Varmint 223 or 22-250 and to round it off a Shiloh Sharps Long Range Express 45/70 single shot.
    All above other than the Sharps should have good glass, at least Leupold.
