Just a quick thought:
I don't know how much time you plan to spend firing this thing from a rest, but doing so has led to issues with my Marlin. The combination of a light rifle and moderate recoil has led to the sling swivels catching on the rest and breaking more than once. I'm looking in to moving the studs to one side of the rifle to fix this. Also, it would be nice to be able to walk with the rifle slung like an M4 so that I can keep my hands free and still be able to get at the rifle on short notice.
