    Re: Mountain rifles

    Fuzzy and WF ! Thank you for your replies to my babbling ! Bustercluck my apologies to you I’m not try to take away from your thread !

    I have been saving some money and the thought of a lighter weight rifle is appealing , maybe even a GEF build . But I’m sort of stuck on a cartridge / caliber . I have a Remington wood stocked 3006 and the Remington American Hunter in 6.5 Creedmoor so…….…. both are under 8 lbs scoped . I’m not sure I like an ultra thin barrel , I know about the accuracy going out the window after 3 shots and if you can’t bring down your quarry in 3 shots you have a problem

    It’s all good buddy. The thread goes wherever the people want it to go.

    Not sure RJ that’s part of the equation I’m trying to decide on . 30.06 and the 6.5 Creed are in the safe now . I’m thinking something not to obscure and I don’t reload as of yet .

    You should grab a Tikka T3x Lite in 270 Winchester, and get GEF to install a Wildcat stock

    HMM I think Fella would sell his tikka 270 as he wants a 280 AI rifle ! RJ

    I bought mine in 7 08 Rem as I am not a big 270 Win Fan but the 270 Win is a Great performer !

    I bought mine in 30 06 as I already have a custom rifle in 280 AI . RJ
