I have posted pics of my dream rifle more than a few times. Bill Leeper built it in 2010.
I have owned lots since then , but this one is my ultimate dream hunting rifle.

Definitely look like a keeper! Also look like other than the action everything was made custom?!?!
Fortunately, I have several of my "dream" rifles:
Left Hand Sako 85 Hunters in 6.5x55 and 9.3x62;
Winchester Model 88's in 7mm-08 and 338 Federal, with the 250 Savage being done right now;
Left Hand Remington 700's in 280 Rem, 300 WSM and 338-06, with the 358 Win being done right now;
Left Hand Ruger 77's in 376 Steyr in Mannlicher stock, and 416 Taylor;
Left Hand Browning X-Bolts in 6.5 CM, with 6.5 PRC about to be done;
Marlin lever actions in 338 Marlin Express, 356 Win, and 41 Rem Mag; and
Winchester 94 Deluxe in 30-30 and Big Bore in 375 Win, both with very nice wood.
Still looking for and/or building other "dream" rifles:
Left Hand Sako L691 FS Carbine in 6.5x55, 9.3x62, and/or 280 Rem;
Left Hand Sauer FS in 7mm-08, 338 Federal and/or 358 Win;
Winchester of Browning 1885 Low Wall in 221 Fireball; and
Ruger No. 1 International in 6.5x55, 338 Federal and/or 358 Win.

Nice! As a lefty I feel your pain. Hard to find nice LH rifles!
Correct. A 1903 M-S carbine in 6.5 x 54 M-S.
I have more than one "dream" rifle, but if pinned down to one, it would be my Custom 308 Norma Magnum. (c. 2011)

Bedded into a Remington Custom shop stock in Tiger Maple.

Truly accurate, several bullets/loads shooting well under MOA out past 600 yards.
Accounted for several head of big game. Dave.

Yup, the only thing factory on that rifle is the action frame, everything is was either manufactured by Leeper , or upgraded, like the Wolf springs and Kepplinger trigger. The front sight is is a Brno, as well.
Rear express sights are NECG.
The only thing I have to do is upgrade the scope rail, that still needs to be done.

I like the stainless sythetic version myself. They're even nicer know that Darcy is making his own action
Wow, that's beautiful! Pretty sure the stock cost you more than my whole custom rifle. I'm not jealous though, mine is exactly what I wanted/
