Even the standard Remington 700 is pretty boss. It's on my short list of rifles to get in the next 10 years.

But so is the new KelTec RDB:

I highly recommend a Tikka T3.
The new CTR looks great, or a Varmint if you can find one in .308 (availability seems to be so so in the U.S).

The only hardware I am concentrating on is bullets.
My target rifle is very much in order, and I am satisfied with the accuracy I get with SMKs out to 800 meters.
But the next project is to find a load for beyond that, out to say 1100-1200 meters. I did initial tests with the Lapua Scenar L 175 grain bullet, and yesterday I ordered some Hornady A-Max 178 grain bullets to try.

I hope to bang some steel at 1000 meter + this year.

I have love for bolt guns and a weekness for a full on bolt action long range rig, but after shooting some accurized ARs I got the semi-auto bug and ended up selling my bolt 308 for an accurized AR. It's amazing when you are hitting the same targets with no down time or re-aiming between shots.

Archery was my first love. I'm actually poking around at picking up a Prime bow

As a swede, I am highly limited as far as semi automatic rifles go. We are not allowed to hunt with anything AR or even resembling an AR. I would like to explore the potential in an AR platform (target use only), but right now money and the possibility of extensive paperwork limits my interest.

A quality AR-10 or Scar SSR would be a nice moneypit to get going.

We saw American Sniper yesterday. It was good, but I honestly thought it was going to be more of a drama than a war movie. It spent a lot of time with him in enemy territory. I wish it had shown more footage of him helping vets before he met his tragic end.

It also showed him with his sidearm in a custom leather holster. Pretty sure that's not military issue, unless it's just something Kyle did in real life.

I'm far from an expert, but don't the SEALs kinda carry whatever works for them VS what's issued to them? Being an AK guy, I've read stories of some of them choosing to use AKs for certain missions.

If memory serves, he got a Wilson combat 1911 that he carried on atleast one deployment. It got damaged by a frag and then he went back to his issued Sig Sauer.

I know that certain branches allow their soldiers to carry 7.62 rifles when they will be in an area that is populated by enemies carrying AKs, so that in case they have to scavenge ammo from the area they will be using the same caliber.
