Starting all over with today's components wouldn't be starting all over.

So, to start over "then" when I started, I'd have gone with a Remington 700 in .30-06, with as light a profile as they offered then. Eventually, it would have been wearing a synthetic stock by McMillan or Bansner. The optics would have been a Leupold likely in 3-9x, but eventually a 6x42. Binos would have been Swaro SLC 8x30. Bullets would have been Nosler Partitions.

Starting over with today's options available would make it a Kimber Montana in 7-08 or .308, possibly a .280 or .30-06. 6x42 FX-3, Swaro SLC 8x30. Bullets would be Barnes TTSX.
