What are your core working guns?

I own lots of guns but these are my core guns that I grab to travel, hunt with, shoot things that need shooting, use for home defense, and carry.
1. CCW - Ruger LC9s Pro, Glock 43x, & Glock 19.
2. HD and travel - Windham AR15
3. Deer Hunting - Savage Axis 270
4. Shooting things that need to be shot / Killing varmints around the house - NEF .410 single shot.
5. Plinking w/ a 22LR - S&W Model 17
Funny thing about the Savage Axis in 270 win is, I've yet to kill a deer with it. This last year I hunted with it but was skunked. The previous year I killed a Deer with my Savage Scout Rifle in 308. The year before that I killed a Deer with my Windham AR15. All 3 years I did hunt with the 270 Win Savage Axis. Main reason is it's really accurate and light weight.

My go to guns are a Ruger 10/22, Smith 66, and I hunt deer with a Winchester 88. I plink leaves with a Heritage .22
Ruger 77/17 for yard varmints.
Have a lot of shotguns (too many) but gravitate toward my faithful Browning 525 the most.
Haven't hunted western deer in a few years but either my 270wsm or my 300wsm model 70 Winchesters.
Michigan deer probably 300 Savage mod 99.
Plinking pistol for the aforementioned leaves a High Standard Trophy.

carry guns Smith and Wesson 315NG and Ruger LCRx 38 special
Hunting Deer or Hogs AR15 300 Hammr' and if I need a little more range Thompson Venture 30-06
For hunting Coyotes or Bobcats AR15 6.5 Grendel or Ruger American 6.5 Grendel it has the night vision on it
I gave up all of my guns years ago......but if i still had them:
CCW - wouldn't you like to know?
HD - a shotgun backed up with an AR backed up with a 9mm
Hunting - Remington Mohawk 600 of course
Everything else - anything from .22 to .458
stealth and aim
Carry feg pa 63 most of the time or a smith shield 45 fun gun ruger single six 22. Shotgun winchestr.1300 12 ga. Rifle a savage 110 in 3006
My carry guns are:
S&W 340PD .357 Mag snubby at just a little over 11.5 ounces including Crimson Trace laser grips.
Most of the time I have my Kel-Tec P-3AT .380 that weighs just under 7.5 ounces on me no matter what other gun I may be carrying.
And if I'm out walking in the woods headed over to grandma's house, which is not very often anymore, I have my 4" S&W 500 Mag on me in a shoulder holster. And it's not so light.
When I go Grizzly hunting which is never I use my trusty old deer rifle a sporterized Remington 03-A3, .30-06. The receiver was made in 1942.
When I'm out on patrol and protecting the country while shooting commies left and right I use my "ASSAULT RIFLE" a Windham AR-15. It's big and black and makes liberals pass out at the sight of it. It's no wonder they want them banned! This one even has a laser sight which makes it even more deadly. Oh the humanity! 🙄
