Sometimes a cheap plastic stock makes sense. I felt the need to use mine as a brake while doing a sitting glissade once. | |||

Hey Sambarman you were lucky the butt end worked - the only reason I can reply to this is 'cause I used the barrel of my 250 Kurz as a self arrest on a snow chute ! Took two goes and all my strenght to get it to punch through the ice. Being blued steel and walnut it carries the "garks" with pride, adds to the patina. To me a backpack rifle is a mountain rifle and it will accumulate scars from the adventures it shares with you. Its got to look good in the cabinet with those scars and walnut and blued steel does that best !! | |||

I didn't do it in any way like Bear Grills, Tentman, and although I'd seen it in an English camping book, never thought I'd need to do it until the situation arose. I'd crawled up between a big split in the rocks and found every way ahead or off to the side over the rocks was blocked by ice - and the way back too horrible. But off to the right was a big field of snow that reached back past the hard stuff. I just sat on the snow and dug the rifle in every couple of yards to completely stop my slide. Even doing that I covered 100 yards in a minute or two. Fortunately, I had trousers with the butt proofed for glassing, and that kept me warm and dry. | |||

My "back-pack rifle is the same one I use for everything else. An 03A3 with a sporting stock, turned bolt and a 4x12 power Bushnell scope. Loaded it weighs right at 10 pounds and has never been too heavy - even at 7500 feet.I really don't like light guns. It is easier to hold a heavier gun on target than one of those 6 pound rifles. The heavier gun also helps with recoil when at the range. Speer, Sierra, Lyman, Hornady, Hodgdon have reliable reloading data. You won't find it on so and so's web page. | |||

My backpack rifle is a Rifles, Inc. Strata in 300 Win Mag topped with a Leupold 2.5 X 10 in Talley mounts. 2 bighorns, an oryx, mule deer and aoudad have succumbed to its charms and sub MOA accuracy. At 63, I like the lighter weight that I used to laugh at...! | |||

Until I got the plastic Tikka, for backpacking I'd take a sporterised FN Mauser .30/06 with a PH peep sight. Slimmed down to a sexy shape and with the butt hollowed, it just nudged 7lb and was very easy to carry. | |||

Got this fixed up after right before last deer season. I'm taking it down on the Kenai in a couple of weeks. I'm planning on this being my all around Alaska rifle, except for the really big bears (if I ever get to hunt them). New Haven Model 70 Featherweight 30-06, Talley mounts/rings, Leupold 2.5-8, McMillan Edge stock, stocked and Accurized by Hill Country Rifles, all at 7.3 lbs with sling - no ammo. I bought the rifle back in 2006, but just now got it the way I wanted it.    If you are going to carry a big stick, you've got to whack someone with it at least every once in while. | |||
