I'm crossing my fingers they come out with a 7 PRC. It would be similar to a 6.8 Western, but with a better selection of long range bullets.

Cool, I appreciate you sharing your experiences

I appreciate your feedback! Now you've just given me an excuse to do more tinkering

Thanks for the advice!

The total reliability of synthetic stocks makes my mind want to jump back to them so much, but then I see pretty walnut and behave like a bull in the rut haha

Since I was thinking of using a Kimber for the basis of my dream rifle, could you tell me if you've had a good experience with their action and trigger?

Thanks for your feedback! I've been really curious about them because of the accuracy most people tend to get. Then I get scared by thinking they won't be tough enough for elk...

There is something beautifully elegant about a single shot...

Do you think they would penetrate enough for elk?

Since I'm talking about re-barreling it, would you see any problem in using the action?

That sounds like an extremely capable rifle build! Do you have any experience with those Berger bullets on game?

Your build sounds wonderful! I've heard a lot of mixed reviews on Kimber rifles, and I always want to like them. What happened with yours?

There seems to be a lot of Winchesters on this dream thread. I've never owned one, but you guys are making me reconsider...

It's amazing how much heavier rifles used to be

A rifle like that would make me drool

You just set me down a fun YouTube rabbit hole looking up that rifle. That thing looks like a blast to shoot

You're right about my choice of wood stocks not being rational or practical. I guess that's part of the dream part of this whole exercise, it's more about having fun than being practical. I like the 2 calibers you picked as it pretty much covers anything you would hunt without much overlap.

This is a thread I’ve wanted to start for years, because if you’re anything like me, you’re constantly building the perfect rifle for each situation in your head. Since I’m stuck inside on this rainy day, thinking about the fall, I thought I would breakdown and explain why I think I’ve created...

That's rad! You don't see as many folks using that action anymore, and it's fun to see an unusual caliber getting some use 👍

That's one pretty rifle and an absolutely stunning group!
