I had the same as the OP plus moderators, I was advised against a "shopping list" as it wouldn't get granted and may invite more scrutiny into what I really wanted. However wrong that is!

I requested 8 rifles and was knocked down to 6 and after 1 year I'm just requesting another 5. At least in my experience it doesn't hurt to ask for more, you just have to negotiate when the FEO pays you a visit, but I accept all firearms departments work on a slightly different basis.

Just for the OP's benefit, just because you've filled in the paperwork for the rifles you've mentioned above, it doesn't mean that you can't change your mind. Your paperwork is just the initial `get the ball rolling` paperwork, the real paperwork happens when you're interviewed by the FEO and can even be changed after the interview if necessary. My visit to discuss my variation was last Monday, but I've since agreed to have my MLR caliber set as .44/.45 instead of just .45 nearly a week later.

I did manage to get my .38/.357 changed for a S1 shotgun while they were processing, I just e-mailed them.
Which was nice

Yep they seem quite flexible.

Keep us posted how it goes
