These are my thoughts. Let's say stocks weren't a problem, and could be available from B&C, HS, McMillan, Manners, etc. for this action, already inletted, and not have to be custom made. I would want a Remington 700 receiver design, with the round action, same overall length in short and long actions, Remington tang, and using Remington 700 triggers. The magazine well would be machined to accept a 3" OAL short action mag box, and a 4" OAL long action mag box. I would want a 3 position safety, side bolt release, and a safety that blocked the actual firing pin and not just the sear in the trigger. Integral 20 MOA rail. A one piece, 3 lug bolt with a M16 style extractor, plunger ejector, and has the bolt face extend past the lugs to have the 3 rings of steel like on a 700 with full case head support. The 3 lugs would have at least the same surface area and overall strength as the 2 lugs on the 700. I would want the receiver diameter to be 0.100 larger than the Remington 700, along with the receiver threads to be 1.125" with 20 threads to the inch compared the 700's 1.062x16 threads. These larger, stronger threads matched with the larger diameter action would allow for use of the .338 Lapua sized cartridges without issues. The thread pitch would also allow for the use of Savage Large Shank pre-fit barrels. Pinned recoil lug to allow alignment during barrel installations, and a separate recoil lug would cut down on machine time and material waste compared to a lug built into the action. All machined on a 5 axis CNC to within 0.0002" with excellent surface finish, perfect primary extraction, and timing.
