The backpack rifle that has been taken is a Remington 700 TI by Rifles Inc in 280AI. It is both very accurate and very light. All up, including a Zeiss 3-9x42 w/elevation turret, it goes 6.16. The 24" barrel has a .610 OD and levels out for me while under the effects of being a sea-level dweller at high altitude getting a dose of adrenaline.
Have had it quite a while and being a cheap SOB, doubt that I would spring for it today at current prices. Too, am currently thinking the 280AI, for me, is a better choice as an elk round. It is more than enough for deer...but I didn't have dependable elevation turrets in my vocabulary when it was built, and wanted flat w/o getting the scope ocular shoved thru the back of my head...:)
