I would go with Ruger. I'm completely happy with their bolt action rifles and shotguns. To me, a Red or Gold label will work just fine for anything I want to do with a shotgun. I do wish that they would make a double action 44 magnum along the lines of a S&W 69. Their Red Hawks are on the heavy side to me.

Great question/fun exercise.
For me it would have to be Browning. I shoot skeet and some sporting clays and own and greatly prefer their O/U shotguns. They have decent semi-auto shotguns that would serve for waterfowl. I have their A-Bolt Shotgun slug gun for hunting in areas that don't allow rifles. I don't have one of their centerfire rifles but could get by with an X or A Bolt or even the BLR for deer hunting,(though I prefer my Win M70 FWT). Their T-Bolt .22 would serve well and their Buck Mark and Hi-Power pistols would be all I need for the little handgun shooting I do.

An impossibility, your rifle shotgun or pistol one or the other would be a pos. Not with Beretta. Some may not be crazy about the M9, but that sucker really works. And same thing for the PX4. They make a first rate military semi auto. A very good bolt action rifle. A first rate defensive shotgun. An excellent semi-auto sporting shotgun and over/under. Heck you can even have a dangerous game double from Beretta.

I don't ever want to be in this situation, but if I have be, I would have to choose Ruger. Everything they make is adequate to good; and great in some areas. +1 And they are in country. GW

Tough call.
For me it is a toss-up between Ruger and Browning as I have and enjoy using both brands more than the others I have.
Leaning more toward the Browning as I shoot shotgun more than rifle and handgun.

The parent company, Beretta Holding, also owns Beretta USA, Benelli, Franchi, SAKO, Stoeger, Tikka, Uberti, and the Burris Optics company
Lot of nice well made firearms of just about ever type, in that group.

If you want all three kinds, it would have to be Colt.
Or maybe Browning.
But this is a trick question anyway.
