reminton mountain rifle
« on: November 15, 2004, 03:52:26 PM »
I recently bought a remington 700 cdl in 7mm-08 that I love. I can get two holes to touch but then I usually flinch the third that opens up the group at 100 yards. The stock is really pretty and I hate to get it scratched up. So far Ive only got one deer and it worked great. Well anyways Im thinking about getting a light rifle for walking around, and such. Thining about getting a remington mountain rifle with the laminated stock and stainless barrel. Ill probly get it in .260 or .270. Im a little worried about the recoil with such a light rifle in a .270. Do any of yall one in .270, if so whats the recoil like? Does anyone have any experience shooting deer with the .260. Ill only be hunting white tail and maybe the occasional mule deer. How is the accuracy of the mountain rifle. I want it to shoot at least 1.75 moa at 100. Which would yall pick, .260 or .270?

Thanks

I have one in 280. Recoil is minimal and it shoots unbelievable.

Well #1, just remember they don't make the M70 like they did urs ne more.  :) Look into the Remington line of mountain rifles. GB should probably be able to give you detailed info on this. Also look at the Titanium. That seems to be another alternative.

My wife's 700 Mtn rifle is chambered in .280, and she has no problem with it.  That said, I would probably opt for one in 7-08.  I reload for 6 different 7mm based cartridges and 7-08 is easily my favorite.

I have the 700 mountain in .243, accurate as all get out & minimum recoil. I mainly shoot 58gr hornady's in it. It's used for a lightweight varmint gun.
