[QUOTE="RMorris, post: 2068815, member: 107516"] In my mind, this should above all be a practical rifle, with durable components, shooting practical ammo. It makes me think of Cooper’s Scout rifle, but with a primary hunting purpose. It should be able to hunt all over the US and be a light gun in Africa. It should be handy and versatile and cost should not drive the decision. It should be big enough to be comforting if hunting in bear areas. It should have back up sights. I would want a caliber sold everywhere. I would want a suppressor or muzzle break option. I would like it to be reasonably comfortable to shoot often. For this rifle, ballistics matter, but not as much as logistics. .300 win mag. Stainless with Cerakote or nitrided finish. 22-23 in barrel. Game Scout or similar stock. Nightforce 4-16 ATACAR or some other versatile scope. Built to handle heavy Berger’s, but fine to shoot a 180 gr box of whatever is on the shelf at Walmart when I want/need to. If I built it, I would not have an excuse for much more. It could probably be bought from Sako cheaper than built. Ahh, but where is the fun in practical? [/QUOTE]
