RE: dream gun?????????
mine is a custom mauser(of course...lol) i dont know what the barrel would be or the scope specs.....the stock would be a very nice laminated wood thumbhole...caliber....hmmmm for what your talking about probably a 300 weatherby mag.....but when i really do build mine one day which i plan on doing along with a list of other things will be something smaller.....maybe the classic 308...good up close and out far..proven time and time again....the scope i really dont know.....one day it will be mine....my mauser now is pretty much it..only i still ahve all the original military parts on it...like the barrel and such...and its in 3006.....the stock is beautiful walnut i think....but not a thumb hole....i would love a lighter smaller deer rifle but i cant retier the mauser......i love that gun....this summer i plan on seeing what we can do a bit farther....the farthest i shot it has only been 50 yds...thats all my hunting allows and thats all i practice at.....but i want to see what we can do a bit farther.....
