In order to meet the absolute bare necessities, a list should include a center-fire bolt action rifle.

Sort of how I look at it, too. The OP describes a very basic "golf bag" that is missing a driver.

(Side note: I use the "golf club" analogy to explain to my wife why I need so many guns. "Just like you use different clubs for different shots..." Even though she doesn't golf, it's a really easy concept to grasp, and it's even gotten to where she has once asked "Do we have a gun that would be good for _______?" Awesome.)

I agree with your list, but may add something that can reach out a bit, like a .308

3(soon to be 4) out of five ain't bad. Actually been looking at getting an AK so I should have all 5 by the summer!
