I'm thinking along the same lines. I have a 700 action (currently a .243) that I think will become a 6.5 Creedmore. I've got two other actions that will prob become a 6.5 SAUM and a 7mm something so the intent of this rifle is to be light enough to still hunt with, but heavy enough to use as a LR trainer. So thinking med weight (#2/3 depending on brand) 23" 8 or 8.5 twist with a Manners LW stock (no cheek piece since I shoot left-handed).

And a few more bells and whistles such as PGT bottom metal and firing pin assembly, fluted bolt, Jewell trigger, and maybe a 3-5 SS or a Bushnell LR scope.

Have I been reading the CF too long?
