Well, after this thread and the other I started, here's what the dream is now. . .

A new Searcy sidelock in 450 3.25 NE with 26 inch barrels, nickel finish with rose and scroll engraving just like the one on the Searcy sidelock page. Long tang and long trigger guard. My last name of Baker engraved on the bottom of the receiver in front of the trigger guard

Talley bases on the rib because they look very unobtrusive

This way if my kids are into it they can keep it as an heirloom. If not they can sell it and hopefully it will be worth something in 50 years (hopefully its that long)
