1983 your scenery is REALLY COOL.
I would love to live in a place like that. Not just for the scenery (ala waterfront views) but because what you can do there.
Your lifestyle could be like what people do once or twice a year, with the campfires, wild caught food, play commandos in the scrub (stalk deer with a bow), build a log cabin and all other kinds of stuff.
I am very jealous, considering I am limited to ultralight camping and would love to have that lifestyle.
Have you ever considered a Sako Quad rifle, if you are looking to reduce the collection? The scope that's made for it does not need 'adjusting' as such when you switch out barrels.
If I had to choose a small gun collection I would have, for sustainment:
The Sako Quad
A Ruger Red Label or Lanber O/U 12ga with interchangable chokes
A 20ga for similar sized critters as the Sako
A .223 rifle, a .243 rifle and a .308 rifle, all bolt guns, possibly an ultralight like the Remington 700 Titanium.
For pest control/general duties/home defence
A Ruger 10/22
Generic pump action shotgun such as a 590 or 870 in 12ga
An autoloading .223 and an autoloading .308, maybe a Browning BAR or a AR style.
And for throw in the back of the truck guns I would have
A Lee Enfield that had already been butchered (eg sporterized)
A SKS
A cheap SxS 12ga
A cheap .22
And for the king in me:
A Drilling, all engraved and such with polished walnut.
