What's your white whale?

A 1974 Marlin 336 in tip top shape. Honest use accepted, but not abuse.
I did locate one, and it looks great, but the owner has not said they want to sell.
Just my luck, chuckle.
Someday...

Another bucket list gun i just picked up was a big bore 94 in .375 win.
I want a Confederate Mississippi Long Rifle
Can't afford one
Don't know where to buy one

Not looking for an imitation new made version yet
Honestly I wanted an nonrailed Podolsk SVT40! I love history and look on this item as museum grade history as not only a cool rifle but a story to be told and not forgotten.

You took that wrong... I was just pointing out that it was a short action as opposed to the usual long action... I have owned half a dozen rifles chambered for .257 Roberts and they have all been long actions...
Ahh okay I see, the 257 has kinda ruined the 30/06 for me cause the lever throw is so long lol
I have 2 "White Whales" in my collection. One is a 700 Classic in 7x57. [This Stock originally came on a Classic in 8x57, but I swapped it over to my 7x57, and kept the 8x57 with a bit plainer wood]
The other is my Leeper built 308 Norma Magnum.

Dave,
That's some very nice wood there Dave, although I really like the darker finish, but that's just me.
