mountain rifle

Hi Folks, I appreciate your time and expertise here. I am building a 7-08 for my son on a Rem 700 SA. We hunt in Western US in mostly mountainous terrain so weight is a factor (he's 14 and 140 lbs...not super athletic). I'll be going with McGowen barrels (had great success with them) and my...

I have a like new Barrett Fieldcraft 3006 I’m selling. Less than 100 rounds fired by previous owner. I was gonna set it up as a backup for elk hunting to go with my other 30-06 but never have. It’s in almost perfect condition and doubt it’s ever been hunted. Has one or two tiny marks on the...

Just got the suppressor which finishes out my new mountain build. American Rifle Company Mausingfield in 300PRC with a 20in proof barrel (because modern magnums don't need to be really long), a triggertech special, in a ARC Xylo chassis, and a SiCo Omega 36M so I don't disturb the survivors...

I have a custom rifle I built based on a Defiance Ruckus GA Hunter action, chambered in 300 WSM. What would be the best set of rings to top this off with? I have seen several suggestions on other threads for Warne Mountain Tech, Leupold PRW, Vortex Pro, and Talley Lightweight. I have used...

Stock for Sale: I’m selling an extra stock that I had for a build that never materialized. It’s brand new, never been bedded. Might be the perfect stock for a mountain rifle, and can accept larger barrels like a proof. Manners said they'd be good enough to open up the barrel channel if you...

I'm a great believer in high-tech for medical care, but allow me to be simplistic here. I just bought a Kimber SubAlpine in 280AI for a mountain hunt. I want great light-gathering and optical resolution, dependability, in a light weight scope (under 20 oz.?). Something in the 2.5-10x, or 3-12x...

Original buyer, built in 2008, less than 100 rounds fired. See attached build sheet. Rifle was ordered with custom load development by Borden for sub-.5 MOA rounds. 100 accurate big game hunting rounds were also purchased from Borden. These have 168 Barnes TTSX bullets and I still have 12...

Very clean and well kept 6.5 PRC. I've used this hunting and in a few long range competitions. This shoots VERY well. Round count is 723. Firm on Price - $3950 GA Precision Tempest short action right handed. GA Precision did the gunsmithing. Bartlein - Heavy Palma 26” 1-7.7” twist barrel 2.5lbs...

Last month I got some very good feedback on a post I made about a possible mountain rifle for an Alaska hunt I might take. Feedback was that my old Savage 30-06 could fill the bill but that the weather would probably destroy the nice wood stock. Many counselled getting into some of the big...

Howdy- My quick intro. Joined up because I see tremendous value in the forums here. Thanks to so many that have contributed to the body of knowledge. Very heartening to see such a group of shooters! Wife, daughter, self and our two retrievers live much of the year in New England, but...

Hello, been a longtime lurker on Long Range Hunting and you guys have helped me a lot but I decided to post here as I couldn't find a thread to answer my question. I have been looking to start building a sort of all purpose hunting/mountain rifle and I wanted to make sure it was light enough...
