As for the OP's original question, I don't need "a truly unlimited 'equivalent to the GDP of a small nation' budget?" for what I want. Basically, every rifle I could ever want is under $10,000 which includes top-of-the-line optics. I'd love an AW and AWM from Accuracy International, a Kimber Caprivi in .454 Lott, a Kimber 8400 Advanced Tactical, a Thomspon Center ICON Warlord, Precision Hunter and Weather Shield and a Barrett 98B. That's all I can think of right now. Of course, if I were to buy all of those and fit them with high-end optics, I'd probably be looking at $35,000 to $40,000 ... a lot of money but still not the GDP of a small nation.
If you include semi-auto rifles and handguns on the "wish list", I could easily get the price tag into six figures!!
