Mostly spot and stalk, always on foot and packing out on my back,
If in Colorado it's my pre 64 M70 300 H&H ( 180 TTSX) in a Echols legend stock, , in that state that rifle has killed all but one of my elk, so I have to use it.
In Montana and elsewhere it's my pre 64 M70 280AI (145LRX) in a mcm edge stock.
Scoped these rifles weigh just shy of 8lbs. a weight that seems to work best for me.
