Today is Christmas and I'm finding myself temporarily anchored to the couch by a belly full of 3lbs of turkey, so I thought I would post up a little thread here about the perfect gift to give myself.

Here is the premise, if you were to give yourself One Repeating Rifle to use for both varmint hunting (stalking/walking, not laying in a gopher town) and for 600 yard matchs how would you build that rifle.

Here are the premises to limit our imaginations:
Varmint caliber = 22-250 or 22-250 ai
Target caliber = 308win
Budget = $1500-2000 for the rifle itself and extra barrel (Not including optics, rest, bipod, rings, etc)
Rifle must Not be single shot

Throw in your choice stock, barrel, action, trigger, bolt, gunsmithing options, all the goodies you can squeeze in there...and watch as someone else pics your baby apart or congratulates you on the perfect build with thier next post.

And here's hoping everyone is having a great christmas!
