I think I'd pick a Winchester M92, caliber wouldn't matter too much, 38-40 or 44-40. Also, at one time I had a collection of the Argentine Mauser carbines, 1891's and 1909's. Though the 1909 DWM made Mauser was probably one of the best ever made, there was just something about those little 1891 Calvary Carbines that I loved. Wish I hadn't sold the one I had.
