Are you looking for a rifle to pack around or take into the high country? Those rifles are very heavy and quality glass will add to that big time.

Mine is 11 pounds, 6 oz all up.

That is with a relatively small scope at 16 ounces.

Haven't seen them in SS.I'm not super excited about adding that much weight. I looked at the mountain rifle but not sure about the barrel thickness. Probably just carry my .270. It's 9 or maybe 10 with the scope.

Sportsmans warehouse ran a ad a while back for them in stainless. I was a little mad because i had just bought a xcr tactical long range for way more money.
That's who I heard had them too. A guy told me his buddy bought one at the Sportsmens in Bend, but they don't list them on their website. Nobody shows them on their websites, not even Remington.
What the heck?

So if anyone cares I found a couple 300s long range stainless in bend. Too far to drive for the wrong caliber. Apparently they have a note saying they're being discontinued. Weird.

What caliber are you looking for? Like five seconds ago I just saw that sportsmans in Spokane has them too.

Me personally, I would pass on any box ( long range ) gun that did not have a full length aluminum bedding block. That is the first thing I look at.
It has one.

I've been told in Sportsmen's and Cabela"s that their companies make big enough orders that sometimes they can order a "special run" of certain weapons for their respective company. That may be the case here? :dunno:That makes more sense than anything else. Apparently Sportsmens was the only store that has/had them in stainless.

That is indeed the case. There is a few brands that will do special rifles like that for stores like that. Tikka and Remington are 2 that I know have models that can only be bought at sportsman's.

I've never trusted those bedding blocks. Instead I just bed every rifle. A bedding block is no substitute for a good bed job. Jme
That's sort of what I figured would be the case if you're really going for maximizing accuracy.
Do you automatically bed everything or do you shoot first and bed if needed in this scenario?
Post by: jasnt on February 12, 2016, 07:48:55 AM
i just bed all my rifles. It's pretty easy and after you get a few under your belt you can do it pretty quick. Tons of videos out there on how to do it.I've never trusted those bedding blocks. Instead I just bed every rifle. A bedding block is no substitute for a good bed job. Jme
