I found what I want...... 1968 Buffalo Bill Set

[Cottonwood]

This is a Rifle and Carbine Consecutively Serial Numbered - Never fired - in original box - Excellent Condition - like new.  A Winchester with cresant buttstock that has a 26" barrel is my dream rifle.

I don't need a matched set, this of course would be very nice IF only for the collection status, but I would not be getting them to safe queen them.  A single rifle as discribed in their add would be great and make me very happy:

1968 BUFFALO BILL 30-30 cal. 122169 mfg. (rifles & carbines)
Engraved blue receiver, nickel plated forend cap, barrel bands and buttplate, medallion in stock
RIFLE - 26" heavy octagon barrel $545 
CARBINE - 20" heavy octagon barrel $545
Consecutively Serial Numbered Matched Pair – Rifle & Carbine $1200   

So I thank you for posting the link to WINCHESTER commemoratives so I can spend my year end bonus on one of these fine 26" rifles.  Of course the wife will just  her eyes knowing another one will not even touch the satisfaction level... I mean does it ever

Sorry I was at work and the site is blocked from there and I could not remember the name of the site, but I knew I could find the url and they had decent prices. The one locally is a bit high because it is a consignment rifle, but Winchesters are all going high here. Good luck with your new rifle when you get it.

Sorry for the late post. I just saw this. I have one of these beauties. It’s the 26 inch version. It was given to me as a gift from my best friend. I started to almost cry with joy. It wasn’t the rifle but the very act of the gift of our friendship. The rifle was shot and had a few minor handling marks but nothing big. This rifle is going to be used and shot. I put a Williams FP Sight on it. This rifle can shoot! I mean it can put six shots in a two inch circle at 100 yards! I would never put a scope on it but if I did I am sure it would go much smaller. If fact, I plan on using this rifle to go after Antelope. I am working up a load with the Speer 130 grain Pointed soft point and will use it as a two shot wonder on the hunt. One in the chamber and one in the tube. Love this rifle.
