What would it be? Something that would do well on steel target to 1000m + and something that would take up to deer sized game. Something with a good barrel life (3000+). Something light enough to carry on a hunting trip yet stable/ heavy enough for target shooting.
My thought is a 6.5x47 Lapua with a 26-28" fluted varmint profile barrel. Savage action make rebarrels a breeze, mcmillan A5 stock does all roles well. Initial thoughts for a scope would be a Sightron sIII 8-32x. Please share your thoughts as I am looking to start a new build for a practical match rifle that will double as a hunting rifle.
