Had been thinkin about rebarreling a sporterized Remington 03a3 with jewel bolt, aftermarket bolt handle, and a walnut stock with a bit of euro influence, in 6.5x55 Ackley Improved with a long heavy fast twist barrel. Figured with the AI it might come close to the 06 case contour, and similar length with long bullets. And be an interesting range rifle. Kind of 6.5 PRC-ish in a retro-cool wrapper.

I been lookin for a reason to buy a big heavy scope with exposed turrets.
