"Best bean field rifle" says title...didn't ask for caliber...
Setup with a Sako TRG42 and go from there... Thank god someone knows how to read My personal favorite was always the sendero in .25-06 but I think the accumark in .257 wby trumps it Winchester also made a bean field gun but I can't remember what it was called

Is there an official list of features a designated "bean field" rifle must have?

Is there an official list of features a designated "bean field" rifle must have? Typically they are heavy barreled, heavier than a sporter weight gun, most wear synthetic stocks and chambered for flat shooting calibers.
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

I'm not sure it would qualify but I really liked the Tikka CTR in 308 I fondled today. I even liked the stock. Bolt was super slick.

I think .308 falls under 1200 ft/lbs at 600 as well, though maybe not by much.

I think .308 falls under 1200 ft/lbs at 600 as well, though maybe not by much. We were always told the rule of thumb was 900 ft.lbs on impact for southern whitetails. However a .308 was never really a beanfield caliber due to its velocity.

At some point I'd like to do a 243 Catbird/6-06 Ackley pushing a 90 gr Scirocco at 3800 fps.

Guess I'd have to use my trusty old 270 win Rem 700 Sendero, gun just shoots for me, I would probably want a scope with some turrets though, not sure me and the old Leupold could guess at trajectory good enough.
My furthest kills have been logged with a borrowed CZ chambered in 222 rem and a Rem 700 adl chambered in 223.
