A good double rifle. Unfortunately, they don't make them cheap.

For example...



This Holland and Holland goes for about a quarter million. No "problem" getting one, H&H has several in stock in their Dallas gunroom. Just lay out the cash and it's yours...

Already got it, my Les Baer Monolith HW.

But if we're talking anything, then it'd have to be a 1968 Dodge Charger RT with a Hemi and pistol grip 4 speed.

I have two actually, a full auto tommy gun, such a great awesome gun!

But probably if I had to say one would be my dads 1911 he had in Viet Nam.....nothing special except he carried it and survived the war. He hated it at the time but wishes he still had it.

Money no object and the firearm was available? Mine would be the German MG-34. Everything was machined out of solid steel, vs the stamped MG42, the 34 is truly a thing of beauty. I'll never see it, so it rightfully would be my "Holy Grail".

Actually, if the desire is more for double than stunningly beautiful, you could find a Tikka/Valmet 412 double rifle pretty easily for not much money. In fact, I have one that switches between 30-36 OU to 12 ga OU. When I get around to it, I'll be putting it up for sale, locally.

As a "holy grail" I have to admit to wanting a Luger P'08 and never managing to get one at the right price.

Yesterday, I did manage to bring home a long-time grail rifle--a Browning T-bolt. The first time I saw one of those, I fell in love with the odd action, and have only seen a single example since--and both were well above my play money limit. Yesterday, though, I spotted a neglected example in my LGS with a $100 price tag. It's now sitting next to me in my office.

So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
