I've already got my "must have". It's a 30/30 Trapper I got near 40 years ago. Love the 16" barrel. It's the one on the bottom. I no longer have the .45 Colt at top.

I have a 1953 94 30-30 with a Lyman sight and a 1937 25-35 Takedown with a Marbles Tang sight , both 20" . I got the 25-36 in Big Sur in 1972 from a widow who gave it to me, along with her husband Rick Mallory's hat . She didn't need the money. I bought the 30-30 25 years ago from a rancher in Salinas who was too old to use it and was going in a "home" RIP. The 25-35 proved to be perfect fort the ranch duties I had as a foreman on the Big Sur trout farm. I killed lots of critters , got pigs and patrolled in the ranch jeep with it. You could still buy the deep penetrating 117 grain softpoints back then, no problems. I can see why it was popular.
