Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting Pics of your favorite backpacking rifle...

Sorry, no pics, for some reason, cannot download now, will do later.
Have a Remington 700 CDL SF, not the best for backpacking, but I like it a lot. But just wanted to comment on the backpack.
Is it another thread ?
Had several, and the one I really like now is from Alps, the outdoorZ backpack After several hours of walking and in various weather (from nice to really ugly ) what you carry on your poor back is important. Plus if you cannot carry all the food/water you need and your back is aching, you're not going to hit the target

Some nice rifles there Randy.

If I'm hunting from a backpack, for me it's a "big" hunt. So, I generally take my most tried and true rifle, which was a college graduation gift from my deceased father. It's a Ruger MKII SS/lam in 338 Win Mag with a Leupold 3-9X40 VariX. Too heavy and not the most accurate, but I know what I can do with it. Someday I'd like something lighter in a smaller chambering and to upgrade a few features on this rifle. Until then, I'll just keep lugging this heavy rifle around.

Here are a couple of "action shots" of my NULA, it's laying at the base of the rock wall in the first shot:

My do it all hunting rifle.





Works in hills south of the equator too.

thanks Tanner.... I've got a couple others as well, feeling pretty rifle content now days.

prm - rifle/cartridge? It appears to be a Kimber. Looks like it works <G>

You are correct. 84M in 338 Fed. Top and bottom pics were using a 160 TTSX, while bull in middle was a 180BT. I'm a big fan of that TTSX.

Thanks - nice critters.

Loving the pictures so far! They all look very nice =)

Mine looks just like this, an image I stole from Formidilosus, with different bases and rings, and the same 6X MQ Super Sniper, in 6.5 Creedmoor.

Is that a customized Howa or did it come looking like that? that's a good looking setup!

Howa Apline Rifle.

Semi-custom available from dealers.

Browning Hells canyon long range 6.5 creedmoor

Kimber 84 308 with Leupold VX-3.

Was G1 R.E.M. ti 30-06 but love the Kimbers more.

David how do you like the alpine? I've been looking at one but I've yet to get a chance to hold one

I like it. It has all of the aftermarket stuff (nice stock, ceracoating) in a factory package that won't break the bank.

Shoots OK, not stellar, but certainly 1" - 1-1/2" with factory hunting loads, and that's what I bought it for.

Working on a 123 Secnar load right now.

It's a keeper, in my opinion.

Can't wait for them to come out in 6mm Creedmoor.

Some very nice modified rifles above! Another option is an out-of-the-box NULA--very light, accurate.

A very boring setup.



T3 .308

Edge stock
Talleys
NF 2.5-10x24

Pretty much exclusively shoots Scenars and Varget.

Sagebrush, what brake are you running on the T3?
