Some good suggestions guys.
I'm not too keen on a custom rifle as I don't really have a specialized type of use (e.g long-range) in mind. Just want a well-built carry rifle which I can lug around the mountains for many years to come, without needing to take it to the gunsmith for a bedding job etc,etc.
With that said - I've put in an order for a Schultz and Larsen Classic DL in 6.5x55. I love the traditional look, it's got some glowing reviews, and if Tahr's one is going strong after 15 years, there must be something good going for them.
