    Thoughts/knowledge sought please

    At the ripe old age of 60 with chronic fatigue and needing 2 knee replacements time is not on my side.
    I would like to build a custom rifle that will see me out and used only by me.
    Have a couple of 308 rifles that mates/ young adults use.
    Thinking 243 as most of my deer shooting is under 250 yards but I might shoot a fallow a bit further out.
    Prerequisites and non negotiable are
    Stainless barrel ceracoted,carbon stock and detachable mag.
    Have tikkas and dont want another.
    Was thinking true flight barrel or something similar.Also l dont want to deal with hardys.
    There goes the option of a hitech stock as well as hardy now owns it.
    Circa 4 to 5 k and expection half moa at 100. Have a z5 to put on top and a dpt suppressor with a couple of additional baffles.

    A 243 kimber classic restocked to maintain the bottom metal would be an option, as would any of the Remington, sako options would go well with their factory barrel I don’t really see the need to get a rebarrel unless it’s absolutely necessary

    Bergara have some factory options that would fit that.
