All of my current and formerly owned firearms are/were hunting guns. And all are/were used hunting in all kinds of weather and in all types of terrain.
.....Well almost all. I currently have 3 "novelty" firearms that have never been fired. A 45-70 Marlin with full length barrel and tube magazine. Similar to the ones used in the movie Silverado. A BP .31 cal Gentleman's pocket revolver. And a single shot BP .40 cal pocket Derringer. There may be a fourth firearm unfired, a single shot Steven's 12 gauge shotgun that was returned to me after my step-dad's passing away. I had originally given it to him years ago to use inplace of his well worn single shot 12 gauge shotgun.
I take it by "hunting" you mean inexpensive aka cheap guns and "nice" meaning expensive guns relative to one's budget.
Original NIB price was my great granddad's $15 Savage 1911, .22 Short Only, 22 caliber, bolt action, dual tube magazine, rifle that I inherited.
Original NIB priced under $50.00 single shot shotguns: Steven's, H&R, others I can't remember the brand names.
(OK. These prices were...ah humm... just say a while" back)
To what I consider "nice" more expensive $1000.00+ shotguns. I have certain shotguns set up specifically for hunting both woods fowl (grouse, woodcock, turkey,) and waterfowl, and other shotguns that are set up for hunting big game: deer, bear, boar. Depending on the hunting season, whether it's the $50.00 or $1000.00+ shotguns they will sooner or later be out hunting in various types of weather conditions and in various types of terrain. No such thing as a designated open field, dense brush/woods, fair weather, or inclement weather only firearm in my collection.
IMO: All guns are "nice" guns. Some are just nicer than others.
"Nice" (shot)guns designed for hunting are "hunting" (shot)guns that are meant to be used and enjoyed in the field and brush, around the water, and/or in the woods.
