Im in the process of building a walk around/ mountain rifle( cant just call it a mountain rifle as i live in florida) on a rem 700 ADL in .270 win Ive ordered a new weaver K6 fixed six power ( tryin something new) and a B&C Alaskan Ti stock. What kind of walk around/ mountain rifles do yall have? What calibers? Models? Stocks? Scopes? etc.

280 rem. synthetic/stainless 700 Mountain rifle. Had it accurized by Carolina Precision. Wears a 2.5 X 8 Leupold VX III.

I have two of them; now, I assume when one says mountains it means there are bears in the area

I guess if were talking mountain rifles for bears mine would be a Marlin 1895 Guide Gun 45-70.

Remington 700 mtlss 7-08 / leupold vxIII 2.5-8X w/ steel dual dovetail mounts. whole gun, w/ claw sling and ammo, weighs under 8lbs. Where I live, there is no flat land , its all mountains or swamps, I dont stalk much, but when I do, the remy is easy to carry all day long. The 11lb savage .50 , not so much.

I am also looking into turning an old Parker Hale 270-winchester into a mountain rifle. I am looking for information on barrels, gunsmith labor rates & stocks.
My main objective is to have a lightweight rifle that will be a pleasure to carry & shoot. I do not want this rifle to be a hard kicker. I also want it to shoot a good solid tight group.

Bell and Carlson makes some affordable light stocks but i dont know about for parker hale, Also E.R Shaw is an affordable barrel maker that came up in my research.

remington 7600 in 35 whelen with a Leupold ontop with game reaper mounts...right now she got a vari-x II 3-9x40 on her...i think shes gunna get a VX-3 2.5-8x36 before fall though...shooting 225gr nosler accubonds...

as i rarely ever sit down for long in rifle seasons, its not going to be my last remington pump gun...

im not big on synthetic stocks...just dont like the feel or plain black look...the 7600 i got now is satin finished walnut..real classic looking rifle...my next is likely to be a 760 BDL in 308...shooting a hot loaded 165gr accubond..going to search for one this summer at the right price with the right wood...some of the BDLs arent real pretty and are plain looking guns with fancy basketweave checkering...but ive seen some with amazing wood...

Thats a mighty fine piece of iron RR, How do you like that lilja?
