I don't know much about the Carcanos but they've got some history and they're not making any more of them. Twenty years ago you could buy a standard long rifle 1895 Chilean Mauser for less than a hundred bucks. Today most of the ones I'm seeing on Gunbroker look pretty beat but they're starting at around $400 and some of them are selling. Carbines seem to go for more if they're in good shape

Mike Venturino had a good article on Carcanos in "Rifle" or "Handloader" not too long ago.
