What one single firearm would you choose as a gift?

My first rifle was a gift from my son on my 63rd birthday. 1929 hex receiver Ishevsk Mosin Nagant. When I go he gets it back. When he goes one of my grandsons gets it, along with my Marlin 60. Not expensive guns but fun to shoot.

I've given this some thought,,,
I would want to receive a Luger as a gift.

Nothing fancy or rare,,,
Just a good range worth pistol.

A Purdey Best Side by Side with the stock fitted to me. Something like this would be suitable:

Love it! Go big or go home.

Maybe a pre-lock 629 Mountain Gun in .44 Mag.

I guess it would be something I would never buy for myself. Like, I would buy a python or a P7. So, maybe a Coonan or a PSG-1? Or an Hk MK23

Definitely a British double rifle. 450NE, or 470NE or 375H&H

To receive? No question. A quality drilling in 16-gauge/7x57mm

A Fulton Armory M14 would be very nice. Please and thank you. I will assume this thread will be sent to Santa Clause.

That's an unfair question! I can't possibly narrow it down to one, but Michael Tinker Pearce, I definitely like your choice! But I think for Today, if I had my "Druthers", I'd go with a Ruger #1 International, in 7X57 Mauser. Just one of my top "dream guns".

Only one firearm comes to mind.

Colt Camp Perry .22LR.

There are other firearms I'd like to have, but none as special as the Colt Camp Perry.

A full auto FN Minimi or maybe a Bren in 7.62x51

An M1 carbine. Had a chance to get one for $100 at Andrews Sporting Goods. It was either food for the family or the gun.

That Ruger No. 1 looks nice. I'd go for one in .357 magnum (or maximum).

A Smith and Wesson Kit gun, aluminum frame, 3 1/2" barrel in .22 LR

I'm going to go a little further on Tinker's drilling; I've always wanted a Vierling in 16x16/9.2x74R/ .22 Hornet or Savage Hi-power.

A Freedom Arms "Field Grade" revolver, probably .357 Magnum, with a 6.5" barrel. Nothing super fancy, just a gun I wouldn't buy for myself because the practical side of me say's a plain old Ruger Blackhawk will work just as well.

In order of Unobtanium:
Johnson M1945 Light Machine Gun
M-1 Garand in .276pedersen
Pedersen Automatic Rifle in .276
Johnson M-1941 Rifle
5th Fleet Shooting Team 7.62 Garand
National Postal Meter M-1 Carbine.

Gave this a little more thought. Was always fond of the single action revolvers that Bill Grover made- so one of those

One of these,,,,My one and only gotta have that I can't afford......

Kolar combo with single trap, plus over under barrels and the 20-28-410 subgauge tubes. Set up with same drop and pitch as my TB (45 years my trap gun, don't tell her), and a lifetime supply of shells for all four gauges. Adjustable rib and a bump buster.
Guess that should do it.

A high quality M1911. I carried one as a Rifle Company Commander and would like one to pass down.

A S&W model 57 .41 Magnum 6" in SS.

UZI with all 4 caliber conversions

AFIK, the only conversion was from 9x19 to .40ae; everything else required a different bolt face and springs & mags and such.
So, you'd simply need three UZI.
Problem solved
