My first thought when I read this was... you have a long way to go.
That depends. If he doesn't desire to own more than what he has, then he's set.
I have a friend who never owns more than 4 or 5 handguns at a time, no rifles and I think one shotgun. He probably puts 3-4 times as many rounds down range as I do, and he's very proficient with those few guns. But then, he shoots competetively. He doesn't hunt or plink.
The flipside is that while he can outshoot me with those handguns (and most likely many of mine), the few times he ventured with me to shoot praire dogs, his numbers were pitiful. He used his dad's .22-250 and one of mine, an absolute tack driver of a .223. But he really struggled to make hits over 100 yards. He also hasn't faired well with tactical carbines. He's just not a rifle shooter.
So different strokes for different folks. I like to collect, and I like to shoot lots of different guns. There are a few that I use a lot, but most of them only go out once in a while. I just like variety. I'd get really bored if I only had a handful.
