Considering first custom. Need help with components.

I am really intrigued by the 7 backcountry. I have quite a few rifles and through natural progression and learning each has new/different features. I have hunted and reloaded most of my life. I first dove into long range shooting about 10 years ago. I took a Magpul class that was taught by Caylen Wojcik. Since then I have done a bit of shooting in the mountains of Idaho. I have found that the wind is not easy to read and have thus put self imposed limits on game. 800 on elk and 650 on deer, not because of ballistics, but because of vital size. I have also jumped into suppressed shooting, and this where the backcountry catches my attention. I have also grown weary of building loads and reloading. My wishlist for a "one gun" for big game hunting are as follows, and I would appreciate help in determining which products are best suited to my desires.

Action- left hand bolt, right port, Less than 90 degree bolt throw, preferably Rem 700 footprint, would prefer to run Talley rings, but would be ok with 1913 rail.
Flush floor plate
Trigger- any of the top of the line set at 2lbs.
Barrel- 18 to 20 inch, medium contour, threaded, steel
Stock- Have not decided if I want to go with a chassis.
I would like to keep it around 9 lbs. Planning on a 18 to 30 oz. scope.

Any input will be appreciated.

Well as your local Cabela's sales staff would tell you get a sniper rifle.
6.5 creedmore and be good on any game as far as you can see. Don't even really have to aim

MELEX,

I had my last custom a few times. The newest was supposed to be delivered in September, but the 'smith was in an accident and missed two months of work.

It is based on a Weatherby Mk 5 six lug titanium and using the Weatherby stock. The barrel is a Pac-Nor 26" 7mm 8" twist. It sports a SRS five port titanium brake, Trigger Tech set at twenty ounces. The rings are Tally light weight holding a March 5-50X56. The round is a shortened.28 Nosler called a .28 Bossler.

The brass is ADG with the rims turned to fit the .473" bolt face. The bullet is Hammer HBC 141. I expect a velocity of 3,500 fps or more.

It is supposed to weigh less than 7lbs.

Maybe it'll be my last final rifle.

Well, what aspects of the rifles you currently own speak to you? What do you absolutely love and what don't you love?
Left hand bolt, right port, less than 90 degree throw will limit your choices. Maybe come back and list the ones that fit your parameters, and you'd get some valuable feedback.
