Buy recommendations What should be my next arsenal addition?

In my arsenal so far i have two 22lr’s and one 6.5 creedmoor. Im debating if i should buy another rifle but don’t know in what calibre. I’m 100% gonna buy a shotgun to add so that is out the discussion. I saw that i can buy a 9mm semi auto and a new 5.56 semi auto as well i believe. What would be your move on this decision.

Thanks

I know I'm going to sound like a fudd, but with the uncertainty around semis getting banned, if you can't afford to have a gun banned, maybe look at a lever next. There's a lot of nice options out there. A 44 or 357 are great for plinking. 45-70 is also a lot of fun to shoot and great bush gun. If you wanted a hunting lever maybe look at a 30-30 or 444 also. Think about getting into reloading - straight wall cartridges are easy and relatively cheap to reload.

I love my 357 lever action.  Just a cheap rossi made Citadel  Levtac,  but it's more fun than my sks, lighter and shorter too.

To add to this, a 357 lever is a lot of fun at the range and ammo isn’t too bad. It starts to get some drop by 100yards so you can work on holdovers which can make it more interesting if you’re limited to a shorter range distance. My S&W .357 is a range favourite for myself.
