OK, I'm a collector & target shooter so my choices are a bit out of the ordinary.

One rifle: Mauser Gewehr 98

That is just such a classic. Mine has Spanish markings that I have been told date back to the Spanish-American War.

One shotgun: Remington 870 with monte carlo stock and a selection of barrels (including 3" mag long barrel for geese)

(Note that my Mauser Gewehr 98 is truly a 98, but because of the specific Spanish markings on the parts, it was speculated that it used some parts originally made in Spain for the Mauser model 1893 - a rifle that proved itself so superior to the ones used by the US that it was largely copied to create the M1903 Springfield. But most of you already know that.)
