I wouldn't call it perfect, but I would call it lucky. Nula 7mm-08. Have a Pre63 FWT .308 that fits into the same hole.
To pharaphrase: "I would rather have a good luck rifle than a perfect one any day." Nothing wrong with a rifle with good mojo A rifle without the mojo ain't much more than a loud tire iron.

....but I'm still looking! I'll bet I have built 30 guns, and had five times than number pass through my hands. Maybe 4 among them are perfect--a .22lr, a .270 that belongs to my son, a 7 mag, and the .416. A lot of the others are close, but not quite there.

This one has been the one that I have reached for the most over the last 20+ years: Commercial Mauser action, side-swing safety, Douglas premium grade barrel, Larry Caudill stock, Leupold 2-7X compact in Buehler mounts. .270 Winchester, of course.

I have 2 if that's OK, one short and one long action. Long action would be a KS .280 with a little added bling from Karl Feldkamp Short action 7MM-08 built by Jon Beanland

You're sandbaggin--you've only showed us one of the "perfect" ones. I'd be interested in the 270 and 7mag specs.

That 7mm-08 is not quite perfect sir. If it was in MY safe then it would be perfect!!

Here is one of mine, a modern relic. This is my 1st year using it but so far it fits the roll. Not too heavy or light, built like a tank, shoots just a little over MOA with the green box Remington core-lokts and while I am careful with it I won't worry if it gets a scratch. The rifle has a nice balance, carries easy but still has enough weight to hold steady. It's a J.C. Higgins model 50 in .30-06. It still wears the factory chrome lined barrel and has the left side wing safety. The only modifications are a Timney trigger, McMillan stock and green CeraKote paint. While it's not much to look at it has a functional beauty that makes up for it. It's a great Mississippi white tail rifle.

I don't have a picture handy, but I have a bunch of rifles..... the favorite (perfect) one is a Remington 721 30-06 from 1959 that is in outstanding original factory condition, even though it has been hunted quite a bit. Nice gun that does the job, and of course its even more perfect since its a 30-06.
