owners of the 700 mountain rifle???
 
greetings all

I'm thinking of buying one of the older model 700 "mountain rifles" in .270...used. It is not the "mountain LSS", but the older model with the regular wood stock and blue barrel, which I like better.

Anyone have any comments good or bad???

I'm getting rid of my tikka t3 lite (syn/blue) in 7mm rem mag. It was a good shooter with, imo, the best factory trigger and bolt "action" around, but like I said in another post....life is becoming too short to hunt with ugly guns.

thanks

I had one in .280 Remington several years back. It was a real shooter. I like the slim stock and the way it handled. I shouldn't have traded it off.

Well, I have the LSS in 7-08 and I am very happy w/ its acuracy ,weight, and its the sexiest rifle I ever owed. I did swap out trigger though, but the factory one wasnt too bad either.

I have been thinking about buying one of the LSS Mountain Rifles. I really like the look of the brown laminated stock with the stainless. I can't settle on a chambering, maybe another .280 Rem.

I have one of the older one in 30-06 I have shot half inch groups and killed one of my best deer with it all I 've ever done is a trigger job I have been amazed at the accuracy from such a slim contoured barrell I LOVE MINE!!!!

I have one in 7mm08....

Blue, walnut stock... Looks PURTY... Shoots real good... 1" groups at 100..

It's been my favorite whitetail rifle for the last 10 years or so, and I've killed a few hogs with it too..

I have a newer Mountain LSS in .30-06 and it's an excellent rifle. That said, my dad has an older blued/walnut Mountain Rifle in .280 and there's just something about it...everything feels right. I'd say go for it and don't look back.
