I don't know which model. Very nice wood on it.


I'm probably going to get a Cooper to replace this, but it'll be the Backcountry. I've handled them a bit but haven't shot one. Does anybody have any feedback on them. How about other suggestions for a LH mountain rifle. If it isn't under 6 lbs I have no interest. I've got a safe full of 6 1/2 lb and up rifles.

I've got a ULA 7-08 you might talk me out of.

I also have a Forbes 30-06 LH for sale that's been recently looked over and blessed by the man himself, if anyone is interested. I'll let it go for $900 plus shipping from AK.

That's a great price. I've got one in .270 plus I'm picking up a ULA in 7mm/08 on Friday or id jump on that in a heartbeat.

I broke down and ordered a Cooper Backcountry in .280 AI last week. Between that, the ULA in 7mm-08 I bought off of utah708, and the Forbes I have in .270 I figure I'm pretty set for lightweight rifles for the time being.

Please share your thoughts comparing the Nula and the Backcountry once you test both. I’d be very interested in seeing a side by side review.

Has anyone looked at the Christiansen Arms Ridgeline?

I've got a couple of the Mesas amd have handled the Ridgelines a fair amount. I have no doubt they're a good gun, but the weight is somewhere between a mountain rifle and a sporter.

Will do. It'll be a few months until the Cooper is done.

Just got the "in stock" notification from Euro Optics for the Left Hand Green / Black / Bronze, 24" 6.5CM Ridgeline this afternoon...

Handled a RH version at the local toy store a couple months ago. $2K all up is more than I can stand at the moment. However, would still be less cost than trying to build same out of parts and pieces...

The one I handled came in at about 6.3 lbs naked.

Ammoman16,

Did you ever get your Cooper? If so, how do you like it?

Bought the 06 LH Forbes and sent it off to Melvin at NULA for a 280 AI barrel SS he rebeds and repaints the stock, goes thru the action, called last week and just waiting on the stock work. Anxious to get it back, bears are out!

I'm still waiting on it. It'll be another couple months or so provided it doesn't get pushed back with all that is going on.
