What should my next rifle be?

I have a hankering for another rifle at some point and this time have an open mind. It could be something short and fat and handy at 300m or something long and old and a challenge at 600. I usually shoot at anything from 100-1200. The only things I do not shoot are rimfire or gallery so we are talking about a full bore rifle and I prefer to load my own ammunition.
So.... any suggestions?

How about something exotic, like a Martini-Henry? A proper one it .577/450
