I am looking for an Obsolete caliber rifle, not really fussed what it is as long as it has a reasonable bore and is a cartridge rifle.
Anyone?

I know of an original Winchester 1886 in .40-82....
Expensive though.

.310 cadets martini actions, and .32-40 under levers seem to be about both nice little rounds...

SimG and 1886 chambered in 40-82 WCF, I would imagine that is approaching the 'If you have to ask you cannot afford it' price range.
Dromia, I will PM/email you

Yep, I know I can't! It's my mates. 1890 odd manufactured, had a full restoration in the US. Bore is mint as is everything else!
Three grand...
