My father who is a retired Federal Agent of some standing, told me about his perfect rifle last night.

Dad's 65, and has some back, knee, and hip problems. He passed on his perfect rifle and I thought I would share it here.

It will shoot a 300 grain bullet at 3500 FPS.
The bullet will be solid copper and have a BC of greater than 600.

It will weigh under 6 pounds, and have a rust free finish, and a synthetic stock. It will also get lighter as the day progresses.

It will not kick, recoil will be somehow mitigated, but there will be no increase in noise.

It will shoot one inch groups at 500 yards, and drop no more than 4 inches at 500 yards with a 200 yard zero.

It will have a Jewell 2 pound trigger, the safety will be a decoker, and the scope mounts will be mounted directly to the action not screwed down with flimsy nuts and bolts like a M700 or M70, a good example of this would be similar to the Ruger and CZ.

Anyone else want one if I can find it?
