Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Post pics of your Remington 700 mountain rifles

It looks like this thread has been on hiatus for too long. Last year at a LGS, I noticed a 1993 stainless Remington Mountain rifle for sale for $400.00. It had a beat up Tupperware stock; I offered $350.00 and they accepted it. I figured I would see how it shot and would re-barrel it if necessary. I took it up to the range and it shot 1.5" groups, so I decided to make it into a lightweight elk rifle.

I ordered a Bell and Carlson stock, had the bolt fluted and skeletonized by Kampfeld, ordered an aluminum bolt shroud, and a lite steel firing pin from Gretan.

I bedded the recoil lug and free-floated the barrel. It now consistently shoots the 130 grain TTSX less than an inch. Here's a pic of it on a cow elk I took the other day.

It weighs 6.5 pounds as shown with Talley lightweight rings and a 2x7 Leupold scope. Best of all, it's chambered in the hard-to-find .27-300 DCI.

I know its an old thread. I also know mountain rifles are being bought and put together lets keep it going folks.

Just found this thread, I'll try to get some pics up.

Father bought me a 270 adl mountain stainless synthetic when I was 14, pretty much all I hunted with for the past 25 years. If I'm not mistaken, the adl mountains are fairly rare (not that that means anything, I think it was a special run in the early 90s). Gun kicks like a mule.

A year or so ago, I ran across a wood/blued 308 mountain rifle. I think the lgs just thought it was a old school full size bdl and didn't know what they had. I think I dated it late 80s. Anyway, I completely redid the stock, bedded the action, installed a new pad, timney trigger, cleaned up the metal to almost new, topped it off with a 2-8 nikon monarch. Its a sweet setup.


Ran across another wood mountain rifle in 280 in a rough part of town pawn shop couple weeks ago, about the same era as the last one I found. It was topped off with good steel rings and bases and a gloss leupold vx2. It was tempting but if its around next time I check that store out it may come home. Wasn't too out of line, marked 650, but you could easily take 100 bucks of it. Buddy picked up a early 90s marlin 39 that had some of the best walnut I've seen on one, $389....it was still there from where he looked at it 6 months ago.

Sitting here looking over this thread again. Some nice rifles. Wondering if the new Remington Rifles will have a mountain rifle model.

Very nice rifles. I like old threads, check out who posted on them years ago.
