I see the one rifle/pistol/shotgun threads every once in awhile. Here’s a slightly different version.

What would you choose if it was one gun per action type?

Handguns:
SA Auto (Browning Buckmark 22lr)
DA Auto (S&W Bodyguard 380)
SA/DA Auto (CZ 2075 Rami BD 9mm)
SA Revolver (Ruger Single Ten 22lr)
DA Revolver (Ruger GP100 .357)

Long Guns:
Pump (Benelli SuperNova 12ga)
Bolt (Sako 85 Hunter .308)
Semi (Benelli Vinci 12ga)
Lever (Marlin 39A 22lr)
Breach Loaded Lever (Uberti 1885 High Wall Carbine 45-70)
Break Action (Beretta 686 20ga)

There’s more of course, rolling blocks, trap door, etc, but once you get to those you’re pretty limited in selection.

I’m splitting hairs on the handguns. I could have narrowed it to semi and revolver, but where’s the fun in that? I also left out striker fired. I couldn’t decide if that should just go under SA auto or have its own category.

Feel free to add that or other action types if you’d like.

For my list, three shotguns is probably excessive given I only have so many choices but hey, I like shotguns. I also don’t seem to have a good brush gun; but I live in Colorado and hunt in Nebraska, so I’ll probably be ok.
 
I wouldn't need a bunch of different action types to keep me happy:

handgun - Colt King Cobra
bolt gun - Rem 700 in .30-06
semi-rifle - Remington 552...She'll shoot .22 shorts, longs, and long rifles.
shotgun - Win Model 12 in 12 gauge

That short list would do anything I ever needed/wanted to do.
 
Well, my list is many more than I actually have or intend to actually get, but some are just for fun, some serve a purpose and some are on there just because I had a category to fill.
 
Kinda like what CPE said. Here's mine.

Striker Fired (Glock 23)
SA Revolver (Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 Mag)
-----
Pump Shotgun (Mossberg 500 12ga)
Semi Rifle (Bushmaster M4A3 .556)
Semi Rifle (Springfield M1A .308)

Those would suit all my needs, and also fill the "just because" role. Maybe I'd add a .22 LR or a .177 pellet airgun, but that would be it.
