Mountain Rifle

[boomstick]

Best rifle for the mountains Remington 700 .243 youth model. Points great short on length weight all most not there and will kill any deer you find most likely not hunting elk if you are going in any distance.  So if you can pack 70lbs in you eat say ten lbs of food you then kill something and have to pack it out by yourself and say its a good buck boned out there should be if you take all that is edible about 45-50 pounds that is a pack out of 110lbs.  That's a lot  for 15 miles?

Have you ever compared it to the Kimber Adirondack? http://www.outdoorhub.com/news/kimbers-adirondack-compact-rifle-weighs-less-five-pounds/
Wondering what the main differences are.

Kimber makes long guns?

About $300.
Adirondack has a non-fluted 18" barrel. Mountain Ascent if fluted 22" barrel.
Same LOP, same stock, same twist.

Interesting that the fluting allows the same weight in a 4" longer barrel.

There may be some other differences. That's what I saw briefly comparing the 2. I think I'm going to look hard at a Forbes in 7mm-08. $1400 rifle from the guy that created the NULA rifles.

The Mountain Ascent does come with a muzzlebrake.
The cost is about 1750.00

I think the balance of the shorter 18" barrel would outweigh any theoretical benefit the added 4" of barrel would have for me.

M24B or M20?

[jackelope]

M20 I think.

I came to this same question a few years back as a dedicated reloader and accuracy junkie. I also have spent a number of miles deep in the mountains of Montana and Eastern WA. I settled on a:

Browning x-bolt .308 stainless stalker
Leupold 2.5-8 x 36

60 degree bolt throw, short action, lightweight, duratouch non-slip for the awesome WA weather, and a detachable mag. It shoots .65” at 100 yards with 45.5 grains of Varget and Hornady Interbond 165’s. Has been a joy to carry and I have been really happy with the performance on blacktail and elk.

what about the savage light weight hunter in a 260 at 5.5 lbs   that would be a good way to go

[Romulus1297]

NULA 20 or 24. Not a Forbes 20B or 24B. Different companies in different states. Maybe Melvins bolt will slide into a forbes rifle but that is about it.

wheatherby ultralight in .270 win  5.75 lbs
