I don't collect Japanese rifles directly but do that one nice T99 I purchased and now the last ditch that was generously given to me. I tend to immerse myself into any new rifle and have learned quite a bit here at this forum. My curiosity has my interest peaked now.
I'm curious as to what are the most "collectible" Japanese rifle iterations might be. Certainly condition (matching, mums, finish) are important but even the best of these won't break the $500 mark if my searches have been accurate. Are there any "holy grail" Japanese rifles out there that command four digits or is the the market for them still pretty much suppressed, like with the M91/30s and the like?
Just curious. I'd like to keep my eyes open for any special models I might encounter.
