I would have H&H make me a matching set of 12 and 20 round action side locks, and 28ga "Royal" shotgun, with some exhibition wood. I would also have them make me a nice "Bolt action Magazine Rifle" in 375 H&H. That should cover about 300k. Scope the 375 with a S&B 1-4 for another 2k.
Then I would get an Echols Classic in 404 Jeffery, and a Legend in 300 H&H, .338 Win. Mag, and 375 H&H. I'd put Leupolds on all of them; probably another 50k there in total. Then I would call up NULA and have a .243, .284, 338-06, and 325 WSM made. Scope all of those with Leupolds. Another 16k.
Then I would call up clay and get some Coopers done in .17 Fireball, .204 Ruger, .223, .22-250 AI, and 257 Roberts with some spankin nice wood, all up with Swarovski's for 20k. Then I would have Ralph Martini do up Grandpa's ol' Mauser 98 30-06 with a new Krieger, and some pristine wood in an English Stalker style all polished and scope it with a Swaro probably to the tune of 10k. Then I would buy a Benelli Super for the Waterfowl, and a Yildiz to beat around, both 12's of course, and a 20ga auto of some sorts. the lightest I could find of descent quality. Then I would get a Swiss Arms Greeen Special and mount a Nightforce on it, and spend the rest having Bill Leeper build what I fancy on pre'64 Model 70's in odd calibers, with at least one in .270 Winchester.
