I'll play around, it's a little lite for deer hunting....more of a varmint setup.

MG ARMS ULTRALIGHT 416 Remington Magnum pushing Hand-loaded 400gr Barnes Triple Shocks at 2700fps with 5500 ft lbs of energy at the muzzle. Shoots under an inch at 100 yards.

Left Hand Blueprinted Rem 700 Skeletonized Squared & Lapped Action, Detachable Magazine,24" Stainless Steel Match-Grade Barrel, #4 Taper, Jewell Trigger set @ 2.5lbs, MG ARMS Super Eliminator Muzzle Break, 13oz Kevlar Stock with Mercury Reducer in the Forend,1" Decelerator Recoil Pad (aka Limbsaver), Nightforce SHV 3-10x42, Nightforce 0 MOA Pic Rail, Nightforce 30mm Heavy Magnum Rings.

Weighs 10lbs when fully loaded (3+1)!

Hard to choose. I guess it'll be these two.

For prairie hunting - mulies and antelope - .260AI, HS stock, Bartlien barrel this time (4th .260AI barrel on this action), blueprinted 1970's 700 action, 6.5-20X Leupold. Hard to say just how many one shot antelope and mule deer kills this has made. My daughter ringing steel out past 700 yards.

For hunting in the Black Hills - whitetail and elk - a plain Jane 7-08 Kimber Montana, 4.5-14X Leupold. Such a pleasure to carry and to shoot!

So just give both my deer rifles a good scrubbing both are semi custom build for Oregon blacktail deer and mule deer my 6.5-06 is the DM with 26" Lilja barrel (just built) my second gun in 260 Rem also Lilja barrel 24" both with timny triggers blue printed actions and Leupold VX5 3x15x44 HD scopes View attachment 181658View attachment 181659View attachment 181658View attachment 181659

These are my, not so little, friends. The bolt actions is a 700 Remington BDL in 270 Win and the AR platform is a Ruger SR 762, ie, 308 Win. Both have over 1000 yard capability thow at 75 years old I no longer have the physical capability for such long shots.

They are both carbon fiber McMillans. The one on top is a game warden, the one on the bottom is a game scout. I think anything larger than a number four contour McMillan recommends a game warden which is why my muzzleloader had to be in a game warden.

Let's try some old school. My father's 1903A3 Springfield pictured here after a thorough cleaning. He picked it up as a barreled action for $18.50 after WWII. I'll bet it has had 1500 rounds through it, but still pus three 180 grain Remington Corel-Lokts within an inch at 100. I've not been able to develop a load that it shoots better so why I stopped trying. The stories it could tell.

I have almost the same story! My dads Springfield loves Hornady 150's.

Yes, I have an adjustable Game Scout with a #3B fluted, and an adj. Warden with a Proof Sendero.
Both great stocks, but the adj. comb adds some undesired weight.
Thank you

wow!

Do you sometimes lay down and shoot from reclining position with you thigh as a rest?

Remington 700 25/06 vortex scope View attachment 181924View attachment 181925

often wondered if it made more sense to work the bolt with your nondominant hand and keep your trigger finger near the trigger...

your stock weighs 15 ounces less than mine with adj. comb.

Msgt-the stock on your 700 is stunning. Just wow.

My 7WSM has done very well for me over the years on muleys and whitetail. Working on building something lighter for the mountains in a 6.5x284 and just got done with my wifes 6.5x284 on a 700LA.
