My personal chooces would be the Rem. 600 and Ruger Black Hawk. The Black hawk is a classic Ruger design. The Rem. 600 in 6.5 Rem. Mag. was a bust almost from the get-go. Ammo was proprietary to Remington and was discontinued (along with the big brother 350 Rem. Mag.) after only a handful of years, but is now back on the market. Remington produced a Model 700 "Classic' in 6.5 Rem. Mag. a few years back and every now and then makes a run of factory ammo. Still tough to find. If you buy this rifle, gather up ammo as much and as fast as you can. I suspect Remington will quit making it soon if not already.

The "Commerorative" Model 94's ... do nothing for me. There are currently something like 55 different commerorative Model 94's out there. Only a few are actually "valuable". I think that the Statue of Liberty was a very limited run ( under 50 ???), hand engraved and has gold enlay. Probably retails around $10K. Only about half or so were engraved by hand. The rest by machine. Heck there are 3 different John Wayne models .... but I am waiting for the Rambo model myself . Last time I looked, the Golden Spike retailed for about $650 and the Ducks Unlimited for about $850. To me a "Ducks Unlimited" center fire rifle is sort of weird! Sort of equivalent in my mind of a RMEF "commemorative" .410 auto loader !!

But if you get a good price, buy them all.
