Back country rifles???

[jackelope]

Rifle, and it's brake'd with a flextech stock so I'm kinda cheating.
 
The 7mag my buddy shoots is a Ruger m77 mkII.

I used to shoot the m77 until I got the tikka

[AKBowman]

Savage model 110L with a 20" barrel, Mannlicher stock topped with a vxIII Leupold in .06

[fillthefreezer]

tikka t3 SS UL. 24"fluted. 300 win.mag. 4-12 vortex. so light it hurts to shoot....

[hirshey]

Hard to beat a tikka in the back country. I got a rocking deal on a a7 by sako and it is the perfect back country gun. Mine is 270wsm.

Same with the one I use... just a winchester though.

My hunting partner(boyfriend) packs in a muzzleloader and I pack a rifle... I think he's got me beat on gun weight without having to worry about a scope.

mine is being worked on right now getting the new stock ( Bell & Carlson Alaskan 700 Ti Model)
glassed to my 300 wsm remington.  topped with a 4x14x50 gold ring (also getting worked on by leupolds custom shop for turrets. it has a custom brake installed when he did that he messed up the coating on the barrel  the worst part is he did the same to my dads brand new never fired rifle he didnt use a pad on the vise jaw. it was the xcr so i had the whole thing blasted and guncoated and trigger job done. im hoping to come in under 8 pounds with sling but will see the new alaskan models only weigh 25-30 oz. so we will see when its all said and done ill update this with final weight.

I'm lightening up a small ring mauser this week...cutting 5" off the barrel and shortening the forearm a bit to save some weight.  It's a 7.62x53 ARG.  I also have a ruger 77 in 7mm mag- it's the boat paddle stock with a 22" stainless barrel.

Christensen arms 300 RUM. 

[kentrek]

christensen 300wsm with a 180 vld toppd with a  vx3 cds....and stoney point shooting sticks

$4000 later! lol i am looking at a christensen 300 winmag for $2500 we will see...keeping my fingers crossed, it would be even better if i could throw a nightforce scope on it!

night force is usualy 7 oz more

And he goes lighter by wearing capris instead of full lenth pants.    Just kidding. You guys look like serious deep country hunters there!

Haha!  We were set to cross a stream there shortly.. I was convinced I could make it across via rocks; I don't think he was as confident that was going to be an option.

You two are almost perfect.  You could dramatically improve your appearance though if you were packing a longbow.

Perhaps at some point! I definitely strive to give the animals a fair chance of spotting me... I don't believe any of my deer have been harvested at over 150 yards, and most have been well within 100. I have to admit I like the knock-down power of firearms.. I'm always afraid that with a bow I wouldn't have as good of fortune at lights-out shots; I haven't really had a need yet to improve my tracking skills.

Who is doing the work if I can ask on the rifle.?  I am looking at this same set up.

[saylean]

Same rifle I use if I am going for a evening bear hunt...
tikka t3 .300 wsm with a gold ring leupold/bipod. 3 bear and 3 deer for that gun so far.
