like an FN M249 SAW or an M1919A6 Browning Machine Gun. Wouldn't mind a Lewis Gun or a BAR
These are great suggestions.

I would also submit if you are looking for more modern designs of high priced dream guns, for me it would possibly include:

A semi auto or bolt action Barrett rifle in 50 BMG so long as you can afford to shoot it, and don't forget the optic.
Maybe a POF AR chambered in 308, with all the bells and whistles you can wish for.
The M249 listed above has a lot of appeal.
How about an MP5?

I don't really dig full auto because I hear a cash register jingle every time I pull a trigger. The same can be said for 50 BMG, but I lack a long range rifle in my lineup. Not sure if you have anywhere you'd even be able to shoot a 50 BMG and utilize the range it is capable of. I know I guy who wanted one desperately. The problem is there is nowhere to shoot it here as there are roads everywhere. Shooting across roads, even dirt roads that are only two track roads is a bad and illegal idea.

How about a Korth revolver?

I guess I'm looking at it from what I'd like to have to shoot, vs what the best investment would be.

If I really wanted something interesting, I'd be looking at the Colt licensed 45-70 gov reproduction Gatling guns that are out there. Looks like you could pick one up for around $50,000. Would look real nice in the corner of the gun room.

I would turn down the offer if it included a condition that I could not acquire any more firearms within one year.

If the offer was more like "Hey, any gun you want right now, I'll buy, no strings attached, except that you must keep it for at least ten years", then I'd probably just get a vintage M1 Garand. I'm easy like that, I guess. No desire for full-auto, nor for any of the modern "high-tech" guns.
 
Wby/Anschutz Mark XXII
Cond-NIB
Cal-22lr or 17hmr either one.

Im not hard to please and have all my needs and alot of my wants already. The only 2 for sure must have guns that i can think of is the Mark XXII and a Rem 541-s Custom Sporter. Between the 2 id choose the Wby.

It would be nice to have one of the higher end guns. Id still regret not owning at least one of the two i listed for the rest of my life so thats why.
 
An SVT-40. For a long time I've thought a semi-auto chambered for 7.62 x 54R would be fun. Maybe I'd settle for a Medved if I couldn't get a Dragunov but I'd like something to match the WW2 "collection" I have. For today. Tomorrow my selection could be different.
 
A Custom Ferlach combination gun with several sets of barrels, including Drilling (12x12 over .30-06) and Vierling (16x16 over .223, with .22 WRM in the rib) sets, as well as just SxS 12ga. Detachable side plates, engraved in the style of Cuno Helfricht or Heidimarie Hiptmayer. Top grade Circassian walnut. Claw mount with Zeiss V8.
 
Okay, you get to keep everything you already have. You have a sponsor that will buy you one last firearm, regardless of cost. What do you choose?

ETA: Anything legal (including NFA) and/or obscure/hard to find is on the table.

Whatever the Army chooses to replace the M249 (hopefully in a 6.5-ish caliber), with thermal sights.
 
...some have said:
I think that if I had this option, it would just have to be a Thompson.

... in a quilted Bubinga violin case, with crushed red velvet interior. A Swarovski crystal oiler would be an appreciated touch. Hopefully our sponsor has the good sense to include a Dormeuil suit and caramel Sutor Mantellassi wing tips. A Borsalino rabbit felt Fedora finishes out the affair. Though I am not one for hats, as they tend to date the suit. I admit, it seems fitting to be wearing a Fedora whilst carrying a violin case about town.

Of course any sensible 'refuse management logistics coordinator' would be cruising in a Hudson around town and taking the Lincoln up here, to Baldwin and Idlewild, on the weekend. When the Dames is home wid da kids, an da dolls is at the lake wid the shine...:)
 
The choice I would make is actually a "mobile" one - a WW2 type jeep with a pedestal-/post-mounted belt fed machine gun. I'm not that familiar with what those jeeps carried, possibly the Ma Deuce (50 cal.) or a smaller 30 cal. (??).

M1919, usually, in WWII and Korea, M60 from VN until the Humvee and M240 took over.
