When I was a kid I was given a 1947 Brno Mod 1 .22, a beautifully finished rifle which would routinely group 5 rounds into 1/2" or less at 50 yards. I've shot truckloads of rabbits and such, and won various competitions, with that little rifle. It would be on the list.
I also had the use of a 20 ga Fabrique Nationale sidelock SxS. It has long gone, but I'd have it again.
I also had the use of a Marlin 1893 in .30-30, Sporting Rifle (26" half-octagonal barrel, 1/2 magazine, shotgun buttplate, pg stock) with a peep sight. It is mine now, and I still have it.
I have a lot more now, and each has its role, but I guess I could scrape by with those, 40-odd years later.
