Alright, I just bought my "dream" rifle today. I'll be back later with pics....and no it isn't the Al Biesen I posted previously. That's my other dream rifle  
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Just completed a transaction buying one of mine.
M70EW 30-06 McMillan Edge VX3 3.5-10 with two CDS dials, one for a 165gr load and another for 180gr load.
On my list still to be acquired would be a Winnie M71 Long Tang Deluxe and a nice CRF 375H%H.
The Long Tang Deluxe would be good to as it came from the factory.
The 375 I'd like to do on a pre 64 M70 action custom barrel and synthetic stock, probably a McWoody. Throw a 1.5-5 Leupold on it and put big holes in things.

Matt, I like your taste in rifles. ...However, I think I'd leave the original wood stock on the 375, just for chits and giggles ..You'd probably get stopped in the woods by every passerby hunter and bs about rifles for an hour though

lol, I was very surprised when you picked up that 71, had no idea you liked them. You really walked into a swell deal with that 'stock damage'. I don't want the 375 to be too heavy, the stock should help with that as will a custom barrel. Looks like I know who's safe to raid when I need to go gun shopping...
