Well, since I'm not looking for anything, what ever I find will be it. The "I don't know what I'm looking for until I find it" strategy has some merit. I like it....

A minty late M1920-26 300 Savage with a Lyman 54 would sure turn my head.
Seeing another 1895 carbine in Canada, let alone for sale is a pipe dream at best so I'll probably spring for another sub-gauge bird gun before I find either of these.

I would like to find a Salesman Sample in 30-30 and 250.
And anything in original condition.
All of the above for a fair price.

A nice 99E lightweight in .303 would be nice, or one in .250 for an upgrade. I need a nice F t/d, too. A .380...

Showing my ignorance here, but what is a salesman sample? Is it the ones that have cutaways to show how they operate?

Saw a .300 Salesman's Sample in a shop down the road. Priced as though it were quite a bit nicer and a K. He had no idea what it really was, and didn't believe me when I told him. They are probably fairly scarce; do they command much of a premium?

The variations could be D&T'd, sling studs added, roll stamp engraved and calibers too. I have a .303, D&T'd and a .300 D&t'd, roll stamped engraved and sling studs. Both decent condition and both EG priced.
