Dear Mr. Winchester:

My favorite bolt guns can be seen on the website www.rbbigbores.com. Replicate any of these on a mass production basis (but no muzzle brake), and I think you will sell tons of them.

However, here is a brief summary of features that I like:

double square bridge Mauser action, 0.750" bolt body diameter

action length suited to cartridge (i.e., different actions for .308, 30-06, .375 H&H and 416 Rigby length cartridges)

barrel band front sight

barrel band sling stud

quarter rib

straight comb - no tacky monte carlo stuff

pancake cheekpiece

Model 70 style safety may not be my favorite, but most guys like it.

Steel grip cap.

Steel bottom metal with extra deep magazine box (5 + 1 rounds of 375 H&H).

Needless to say, the workmanship must be QUALITY QUALITY QUALITY. I have owned 3 recent production Winchesters, and the quality was CRAP. All 3 needed $500 to $800 in gunsmithing before they were reliable enough for hunting.
