I don't know about 'vintage' but there are a few that one day I'd like to have in my collection. The Browning SA, especially in the high grade with the french grey reciever. Another Browning, the Trombone pump. The Remington semi auto with the ugly shell deflector. A nice Marlin model 60, maybe in the grey laminate with stainless metal. All the generations of the Browning T-Bolt. A Kimber and a CZ American with nice wood. A Winchester 9422 and a Marlin model 39. Also, a Browning repro of the model 52 Sporter and the one that I would really enjoy; a Browning model 1885 singleshot with an octogan barrel in .22lr. Some of those may not seem very collectable, but their ones I like.

I love my Vickers Martini:
I *Think* they were made in the 30's, not sure though.
Awesome example of wood and metal
I like it!

How about the old Stevens Little Scout. I have one and love it. Kinda small stature, but my 5 yr old loves it. Falling Block, simple irons, etc. I love this rifle.
Another good one is the Stevens Favorite, They chambered this in 22lr. I have on in 32 long rf, wish I could find one in 22. Anyway, a few more suggestions for ya.
As for Marlin, look forthe old Marlin No. 29, a pump action 22. I've recently bought one of these too, really nice.

I collect .22rf single-shot firearms made in US and Canada, older and more oddball the better. Best guide you can find is an old book by Jim Perkins, titled American Boys' Rifles 1890-1945. It's long out of print (1945) and kinda' pricey, but keep watching and you may snag a bargain - I did.
Here's one you won't find in Jim's book. In fact it took me a LONG time to learn anything about it.
These were made by Tobin Arms Co. in Woodstock, Ontario and are extremely hard to find. Below is an ad from 1917 edition of Rod And Gun In Canada which is the ONLY printed source of info I could find. The Tobin company's catalogs of the era talk only about their scatterguns - no rifles! (?)
I talked with a guy in Ontario who was selling one at auction out there. Some Canadian collector paid $700 for it!
