RE: Designing your own dream gun?
Remington beat me to it. The 700 SPS is just about all I need in a rifle. I have built up a few rifles on 700 Remington actions. One had a Douglas barrel and was chambered in 7mm-08. I had a 26 ich barrel and Timney trigger. I built this one for Steel Silhouette shooting quite a few years back. Any rifle that I would build would have a synthetic stock. I would again chamber it in 260, 270, 7MM-08 or 280. 26 inch minimum barrel length, I can always trim it back if I want it shorter. I am not much for fancy.
