I've always' wanted a nice custom .257Roberts built on a Dakota Model#10 single shot action. Something light, slim and with a really nice piece of light colored english walnut with dark mineral streaking. A nice set of iron sights, barrel swivel (not banded) and a skeleton butplate with a gripcap to match.
Not a Dakota factory gun, a nice custom built by a gunsmith that cared as much about how it shot and looked as he did about making a profit on the job.

I came across this thread while using the search function and enjoyed it so much I've brought it back from the dust bin.
Terry, love your #10 project, a #10 by James Anderson is likely my next custom.
I'm contemplating either a magnum 7mm (Mashburn?) or perhaps a non magnum in 6.5 something or other....
