At the moment I only have two that will never leave my possession and that is because of sentimental attachment not performance.
My working rifles have to perform and be used often or they are gone.
My workers consist of 2 Centerfires of completely different configurations , 1 shotgun and 1 rimfire .
That has been whittled down from 16 firearms , no new rifle arrives without one of the existing disappearing .

I've got to this stage too, owned lots and sold lots. Just a hand full of working rifles for me now, and one shot gun that I will keep for sentimental reasons (and .the off chance I get back in to duck hunting).

The only rifle I really regard letting go was a super accurate Browning A-bolt in .243, I'd still be using it now if I'd kept it.
