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

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: Close-up, with a new DIY paint job:

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

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.

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.
