[QUOTE="Don A Parsons, post: 1803910, member: 97414"] When the time comes I'll most likely switch over to a Contour 2.8 Bob Jury 24" or 22" pipe in 25/06 or 270,,, my 338 and 300 magnum days rapped up about 7 or 8 years ago,,, the change up to 30/06 was the best thing that helped me stay in the shooting sports game and hunting... The above is 1 awesome rifle,,, my favourite all in pack unit is a 6.5 A-square in Remmy 700 BDL Left Hand... It to is a bit heavy to pack,,, but I need the work out to keep me young... Ha The trick for medium heavy weight rifles is the Australian 6 position pack-sling,,, the fast draw drop-off loop allows a shooter to drop/ swing/ acquire/ and shoot fast,,, this is a real plus in the thick timber... Most folks don't like these slings since they don't practic with them enough,,, and they don't take the time to adjust them properly,,, they forget that this is why there is a extra large adjusting buckle on the fore-end of the sling,,, it allows us to change things up fast for the positions of the rifle if it's rifle forward / barrel tip down or up... Same thing with rifle on the back side of us with / or with-out pack... We know it's adjusted right when we can drop the loop in one single swoop to pull the rifle into place fast... Actually I give credit to Remmy and Bell/ Carlson for making the M-40 1A designed stock... Some folks say that these factory Remmy LR stocks feel funny since they give a person the feeling that they are slippery,,, this could be true,,, but the up side is that the well rounded corners lesson the chances of a snag when pulling the rifle from draw into action... There's just enough grip in these LR's since the factory adds textured grip molded into them to last for many years... Any-who,,, the barrel cleaning shows signs that the throat wear is slowly finishing off this pipe... My plan was to burn it off this spring,,, but it looks like it might hold in there till the fall,,, nothing major if it plays out this way since I'll be packing my 6.5 for the hunting season... A winter project I'm thinking... It is kind of nice playing with the old school LR,,, big and bulky with lots of potential to get the shots off... Hats off to Remington for building this line up of rifle,,, it allows everyone a chance to pick and choose what style of unit they want to pack in a market of endless.choices... I can honestly say that this rifle has been one of the many I've owned over the years that has kept me in the loop... Frugal buy and good times... Cheers from the North [/QUOTE]
