Back in the day, when I arrived in Washington State I had;

My Dad's 1957 Model 70 in .243
An Ithaca 20 gauge pump (made by Miroku) a HS graduation gift from my Grandfather
A 10/22 - First gun I ever bought myself $85 at Kmart

I could really still do most of what I do now with those three but where's the fun in that? From the collection today I'd pick.

Ruger #1 in 275 Rigby
Parker reproduction with 20 gauge and 16 gauge barrels (I cheated, sue me)
Winchester 52A Sporter. Although, I'd likely replace the scope. That vintage Ziess 2.5X, as cool as it is, seems to make things further away.
