I'd love to see a nice bolt action or single shot rifle in 7mm-08 or 260rem with a heavy varmint/bull barrel. For some reason, all the major manufacturers seem to think that these calibers are only suited for use in a super-thin pencil barrel or compact/youth rifle. I don't understand why nobody I've seen seems to make a varmint/target style rifle with the heavy barrel in anything between 243 and 308.
Correction: Tikka t3 varmint in 260 and 7mm-08, Savage 12 Long Range precision in 260, and T/C Encore Pro Hunter in 7mm-08. So a few exist, if one can find and afford them.
