Classic to me is a traditional hot blue in a walnut wood stock, red butt pad, leather sling and a fixed 8 power scope. No one wants to build anything like that anymore, if it aint plastic or composite, folks dont want it. I wish Leupold would come back out with a high gloss finish, but there probably is not a market for it.

I’d really love to see a CLASSIC hunting rifle with a modern twist of all the finer touches and tricks that APR has up their sleeves. Maybe a base model “BDL” and then the fancy version as the “CDL”. Blued or stainless cerakote or maybe case hardening.
Stock: big run of McMillan McWoody and McWalnut and some of the edge fill brown w/ black speck. Use the APR, classic and maybe HTG styles. Stick to ADL or BDL inlet, no DBM, option for a RED butt pad.
Action: Defiance LA/SA with that sexy “blued” cerakote or a fancy version with case hardening. Fluting or jewelling options.
Barrel: APR contour so it can be threaded and blended protector w/ a radial or gill brake OR A lighter 2b contour for non-threaded. . Modern twist rates to update that “classic” hunting rifle. Maybe the upgrade version runs a Proof Sendero Lite or a Bartlein/Kreiger/etc.
Choice of fluting.
Other: need thoughts on a rail offering or quality two piece rings like the Hawkins hybrids. Maybe an option for Wyatt’s boxes for the long cartridges.
I like the way you think!

I am really liking this concept as well. I'd love a 7mm-08 in this configuration

Thats a sexy rifle! Has it been done with a carbon barrel? Case hardened action and the carbon barrel combo has my curiosity.
