[QUOTE="Scrumbag, post: 920183, member: 73034"] I would really like a nice .257 Roberts. Decent laminate stock to make it a 'walking' varminter Free floated barrel Glass bedded action Built on a 7x57 VZ24 or 1909 Argentine action 3 position M70 style safety 24" heavy sporter barrel Uprated Timney trigger Good variable glass on top In practice what do we really want in a hunting rifle (in no particular order): 1) Accurate (better than 2MOA probably fine) 2) Stock stiff enough to use a bipod 3) Practical and easy to feed calibre (6.5x55 to .30-06 is probably about right) 4) Decent glass (you usually run out of light long before anything else) 5) Easy to get replacement parts for (in the field, things break) If it won't do 1-5 above, you should probably think about something else in my view.
