[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 221276, member: 11717"] I guess there are a lot of approaches to this. For backpacking or even long day hikes up into the mountains or across badlands etc., I wouldn't plan on taking a real heavy outfit. I personally would like to get a 7mm Dakota made with a 27" #5 or #6 barrel topped with a NF NXS. A rifle like that would be capable of a 1K shot and weigh maybe 11 lbs including scope. So I think a good backpacking LR rifle would be someting along the line of a 7mm RUM or 300 RUM with a 26-27 inch medium weight barrrel. I probably would opt for good binoculars and no spotting scope. [/QUOTE]
