My "minimalist" assortment is (as of right now):
Glock 19 9mm for self defense
Ruger Frontier 308 for hunting just about anything you can think of in PA and I it's quick enough it could be used in a fight in a pinch.
Winchester 37 12 gauge 28" full choke and 20 gauge 20" cylinder bore (I think those are the right lengths), for general "woods bumming" and hunting things that legally require a shotgun (turkey, game birds and assorted fowl).
I own a few more, but those are the ones I would keep as a minimum until I decide I need something better/different.
While I think a .22 is a great part of a gun safe, I don't consider it a mandatory part once you have a good grasp on the fundamentals and can practice less on those and more on the easy stuff. I may not be explaining that well, but I hope it made the point...
