Centershot: About 40 years ago I "made" my own "Mountain Rifle"!
Back then the great folks at Browns Precision Rifle Stocks were about the only ones making fiberglass stocks.
Anyway I bought a brand new Remington 700 in caliber 308 Winchester put it in the "ADL" style lightweight stock, adjusted the trigger added a Leupold 3.5x10 scope and the resulting Rifle has served me VERY well on high country Hunts ever since.
I have kill't Black Bear, Mountain Goats, Elk and a few low country Deer with this rig.
Been dreaming of taking it on a Bighorn Sheep Hunt but alas no tags have I drawn.
I opted for the 30 caliber instead of anything smaller because all the Hunts I had planned were into Bear country - and now here in SW Montana the Grizzlies are very thoroughly scattered about!
