If you could build that special, all around rifle, bolt , semi auto , single shot, what would it be and what caliber?
I would like a Mini Garand in 223 with scaled down 8 round M1 clips
A switch barrel Martini Cadet Action with interchangeable extractors and barrels.
A single shot falling block with 3 or 4 interchangeable barrels. First barrel would be in 32/20, second in 30/30 , third would be 38/55, and maybe a 22 K-Hornet. thinking a little more about it while typing, I might reverse the order of #3 and #4.
I did build the one I wanted. A .30-40 Krag in carbine configuration, but with a heavier than issue barrel.

I think a contender carbine with a 16" 32 s&w long barrel would be a hoot to shoot.

I could pick any number of cartridges .
For a pistol I should like to have a slick cyl N frame maybe based on a 29 . 4.5" barrel in 45 Colts but with a relieved extractor to accommodate moon clips . Gold.trigger ,color case hammer , 50s classic blue , satin oiled walnut grips shaped like the Houges .
Bolt guns become a mad trade off . I love me some 98s and FNs were really nice but so were the Mk Xs . Then there's cartridge 257 Roberts , 7×57 marked 275 Rigby with 1-11 twist , or 9×57 with 1-16" definitely top my list . We need M70 style swing safety and a 5# direct but double set trigger . I like the Fajin sporter stocks but with a straight vs Monte Carlo comb . Modern recoil pad , ebony grip cap and tip flor de lis checkering double line border . Deep blue , probably some sort of a hybrid butter knife bolt handle but I want the body jeweled and blue . Bow release hinged floor plate , compass scroll around the action screws , all jeweled and blued . 22" sporters , ramp hooded front , 3/32" brass , adjustable rear told down peep fixed to the rear of the rail , 8" rail , fixed gloss 6x duplex . 3 QD studs for the sling . A work horse with a silk blanket .
A 5 barrel Super Pose , 12 & 20 30" F/Mod and Special Steel , 12 ga paradox , all classic blue all ribbed , matt silver receiver scroll no inlay . American grip butt stock , modern recoil pad ebony grip cap . 3" mag receiver and block chambered 2-3/4 .
I want a Savage/Stevens in decent wood in a 20" barreled 256 WM with a 1-10" simple receiver sight truck gun .
As a companion a large shank 110 with a .473 bolt head , long action , barrels in 284 , 35-284 , and 45-284/458 Alexander/45-70 rebated .
Both satin Melonite black 22" barrels , no plastic , but no need for nice wood either .
Cyberdyne Systems Phased Plasma Rifle, 40MGWT Range..............
M41a pulse rifle
A Siamese Mauser in 45/70 to go with my Siamese Mauser I built in 348 Winchester!
Take down Rolling Block designed for smokeless with 3 or 4 pistol caliber barrels.
.357mag would top the list.
Possibly a .41mag, or a .44Rem Mag. I have 2 of those in handi rifles already and love them dearly.
Very likely some form of a 32, be it .32sw long, .32H&R or least likely .327.
Possibly a .22WMR.
I didn't have to build it, I bought it. However, if I were to have such a firearm built it would be the same as my Thieme & Schlegelmilch drilling. It was 16 X 16 over 9.3 X 75R Nimrod. In the right, shotgun barrel I installed a Sempert-Krieghoff einstecklauf in 22 LR. So, now it's 16 X 22LR over 9.3 X 75R Nimrod. Can't honestly think of anything better suited for "all around" use....and I use it for just that purpose!!!
I have built my dream rifles , first one is a 1917 eddystone rechambered to 300 win mag , richards micro fit stock , wildcat thumbhole sporter in tigerwood lam. 4x16 mildot bsa scope . Second is a 1917 remington rechambered to 308 norma mag, Boyds stock in coyote lam. 3x9 x40 mildot scope . this was a bubbed up rifle when I got it for $150 bucks , proud of both these rifles. would love to post pic's but can't .
1873 Springfield Trapdoor in 38WCF
My Savage 99 .358 Win Featherweight comes pretty close, maybe a Featherweight Savage 99 in 35-284 or 338 Federal? ....now if only the lightweights would not kick.... or I could find a gunbearer for the heavy ones.
I’d just finish the original high wall project I started in the early ‘90s... it has a 32-40 and a 45-70 barrel and DSTs with a Schuetzen stock as well as a “Special Sporter” stock with Model 70 style butt plate. I still plan to add a 22 RF barrel (w/ the necessary RF block and extractor) and probably some light caliber like 32-20 WCF or maybe 25-20 SS. It will need a lot of bluing and wood finishing as well as a little checkering and perhaps engraving.
