Default One choice one firearm

So here is the scenario, you are given only one and yes only one choice to have a do all firearm from mice to grizz or from tree rat to Cape Buffalo or from gopher to geese...what would it be...remember it need be a do all...nothing more or nothing less.

I chime in later to see what you folks come up with.

12 gauge shotgun.
you can use shot for small game and birds and use slugs for bigger game.

Well, in this make believe world I also have make believe laws:

I'd likely want to give it a bit more though, but this was one of the first that popped into my head.

Since none of the animals in OP's post said there going to be used/eaten my first choice would be a mini gun but I don't think I could afford the ammunition.
My do all gun would have to be a 12 ga. shotgun

good old .30/30 has probably brought down more game for me than any other caliber. Coupeled with a lever action Winchester or Marlin thats where I would be.
