I would love to find a Rigby long range match rifle that is both in my price range and that I could shoot. I've shot against guys in mid and long range matches using the newer Parker-Hale match rifles, and they seem to do quite well.

"Historical importance" would be more appealing to me than rarity of any particular piece. This is purely hypothetical anyway, as I don't have the scratch to play in this sandbox anyway. While I have some fine old guns, they are all "shooters" of no historical importance.

The only guns intersting to me that I could forsee owning, with no desire to shoot them, would have some sort of historical importances. Garret's Peacemaker used to kill Billy the Kid (reportedly the highest price paid at auction for any firearm ever - any truth to that?). Baker's "Baby", T.R.'s "big medicine", Walker's pair of Walker Dragoons, Billy Dixon's borrowed "Big Fifty", one of Pope's personal rifles; stuff like that. The history certainly makes such guns; everything else I would probably have to shoot. Oh well, that will never be a problem for me...
