Thank you, gentlemen! This has all been very helpful. While I do have a rifle that I think meets the parameters I laid out, I was also curious about other's choices in rifles and optics that meet the same parameters of long range use and svelte lines. I find all of your contributions valuable. Please keep them coming!

Caprivi, you may have just cost me some money as I'm eyeing that Zeiss 6x very closely!

Bakposten, I have a tremendous amount of respect for both the 7x64 and the 8x68s, as I have a liking for non-belted magnums. I have much experience with many European calibers and have reloaded for the 7x64 in the past. I was very pleased. I don't have any experience with the 8x68s, though it looks very impressive for the heavy end of my needs. My American reloading manauals offer little for the 8x68s. By chance, do you have any experience with the 6.5x68s? A Voere in 6.5x68s has recently grabbed my attention.

The Swarovski Z3 and Zeiss in 3-9 would both be good candidates. While my Ross has fairly svelte lines, it is a very large action. I think I may be able to get away with a larger optic than I originally anticipated and still keep the handling characteristics I want.
