Pics of your favorite backpacking rifle...

I'd love to know the details of your builds or how you've customized a factory rifle to suit your needs.
Share a story of your favorite hunts with it.

I'll start it off with the one of mine that got away, a 6.5mm Sherman.
It began life as a stainless Howa 1500, but received a Bartlein 3b barrel and B&C Medalist stock to dress it up. Topped with Vortex HSLR 4-16x44 and Talley LW rings.

Thanks Buddy,

RBros IMHO make the best boom sticks in the business. You can ask anyone on this forum them and the things you will here are

SHOOTS FLAT
SHOOTS STRAIGHT
Travis customer service is unmatched

check them out on face book

Rbros fan here as well! Specs in signature. Travis if finishing up a lighter rifle geared for the backcountry. LPA Razor Alpine Ti with Proof carbon barrel in a carbon stock chambered in 6.5 GAP 4S. Will use my Premier Light Tactical on it for now until I acquire a new Zeiss Conquest V6 3-18. Should be about 8.5 lbs all loaded up.
