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 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.
