Whats your backcountry rifle/ caliber?

[Alpine Mojo]

I guess what I was trying to say was a subtle hint that of all the things you have to get in order before you head up to hunt, caliber is down towards the bottom of that list.  Way down the list.

Some will get it, some won't.  That is ok.  Life takes all kinds.

Hunting skills and knowledge of the area are more important than a long range rifle.  I agree.

Right. And some will understand that it's March, and asking other people about what gear they use helps pass the time and you may learn something. Or maybe see a pic of a sweet rifle. Some will get it, some won't.

You can always make a thread about all the things you need to get in order before o selecting a caliber rifle if you want....

Seems unnecessarily brusque

Last year I packed in my 12lb Sendero 338 rum a ways further than I should of but if I didn't have that rifle I would not of filled my tag.   I am pretty sure a couple people told me I was crazy to pack it into the area but it worked out.

Is that a javelin bipod?

yes

Hope you like it - my Leupold branded version should be arriving any day now - already have gunsmith adapter.

I bounce back and forth depending on what and where but a Tikka T3 super lite '06 or my Defensive Edge 300 ultra @9.8 pounds

338 RUM all day any day!

Currently a 280ai on a rem 700 action with a carbon barrel, can reach out a touch something for sure but topped with a vortex 6-24 pst just at nine pounds not super light but comfident with it.  Before I ran rem 700 .270 win and still do at times.  Easiest way to cut weight is off your body, which i need to do after this long winter

Just curious what rifle / caliber you guys and girls carry in the backcountry? Thinking about a tikka t3 lite in 30.06? Thanks Jason

That's what I run!
