I really would like in the near future to pick up one of the new 29-10 classics. The lock is'nt attractive but it's no dealbuster. The one thing I would really like the gun to have though is the recessed cylinder. That's THE one thing I always loved in those guns. Too bad they couldn't have done the series with that feature. But I'll still pony up one day soon. At least they have the extra half inch on the longer barrel model. It's amazing how important to the looks of the gun that extra half inch is.
