Allen,

I would certainly like to hear your choices. You have forgotten more than I'll ever know about the higher end offerings.

Based on what little I know, I'm sure I'd mix in a D'Arcy Echols DG rifle in a 458 Lott and a plains game rifle from him in a 30-06. I realize that those may be boring calibers to most, but I'm a boring caliber kind of guy. These would be stocked with his version of the McMillan synthetic stock. Hopefully, these two would get enough use and wear that I am required to have them reblued annually.

I would require only one more rifle. It would be a 375 H&H done by the Biesens (open sights only) that would be nice enough that they would be reluctant to turn it over to me when finished. This would be the rifle that I would coon finger back in camp while fantasizing about the hunts to come. Knowing that I could use this rifle on any of them and look quite stylish in the process.
