Default RE: Designing your own dream gun?

Don't know how much I'd like it once it was made but the idea seems real good right now....

Take a Savage 99-ish idea. First put on a mannlincher stock made out of very high grade walnut. (WITHOUT that super shiny 'glass finish'[>:] Wood should feel as good as it looks and I personally think that style of finish ruins a rifle...for some reason shotguns are a different story to me[&:]) 22" barrel with iron sights, front sight with a hoop-cover-thingy.
-Now here's the neat part. Its what I'd call a 'double magazine'. The clip would hold 4 shells...and there would be a tunnel bore into the stock long enough to hold 4 spent shells. As you cycled through shells the action would NOT eject the shells but begin the fill the stock magazine. When the stock magazine is full the action would then begin to eject shells through a norma ejection port on the left. To empty the stock magazine just push a lever on the left side of reciever and a spring in hehind the shells plops out a nice pile through a second ejection 'hole' on the right side. (I could go into how this might work...but it I get brain cramps if I think about too long and I'm not exactly Clark Kent on a keyboard)

Now I'd build one in 6mm-08 7mm-06 8mm-06....and yes a 375-06. Probably 30-30 and 44 mag carbines too
