Just for conversation's sake, how would it be designed if one was targeting optimum, and what would it cost?
No injection molded stock. No dovetailed bolt handle. Not a fatbolt design. An integral recoil lug. Metal bottom metal and bolt shroud. Two or three action lengths. Metal magazines/floorplate that doesn't protrude.
Nice to have a 3-position safety and a non-tubular (flat-bottomed) receiver too.
I'm sure I am missing a few things, but I think that is a fair list.
What would it cost? A M70 Extreme checks those boxes for about $300 more than a Tikka.
Other rifles check less boxes, but have other features that make the compromise worthwhile, like the light weight of a Kimber Montana for about $300 more.
Of course, a Dakota 76 at $3K or so is really close too.
