I believe quailman recommends at least a 45-70 for spikes.


Sig Sauer, to hell and back reliable.

Whatever suits you just tickles me plum to death.

Too much scope. If I was going to shoot long range,I would choose a heavier rifle. I use mine in the woods with a 1.5-8X32. To me it's short,fast,and light. Sort of a modern version of a lever gun.

I'm a .280 Ackley fan, because it is a great all around rifle.

Kimber's 84 Hunter with a spare mag, in that caliber, with a Swarovski Habicht (older scope) 2.5-10 x 42 mm would weigh about 6.5-7 lbs with Talley lightweight rings. Probably shave 6-8 ounces off that if you went with 7mm-08, which is also a fine cartridge

I'm gonna have to agree, shocked , scope don't match the gun per OPs question. I just don't understand a "mountain rifle" type gun with a Hubble on top, never have , never will.

Agreed. Hubble scopes have their place, just not on a lightweight sporter rifle.

Yep, I have a 1.5 - 5x on my .243. Never needed anything more.

Depends on how your hunting. Do you run dogs ? An autoloading centerfire or a 12 gauge shotgun. Do you have have thick woods ? A lever action. Do you have long shots with open ag ? A bean field rife in 7 mag or something flat shooting. Why pick 1 if you don't have to ?

My mountain ascent in 300wsm shoots sub moa at 700 yards, so it's not a bad combo. I don't hunt with mine in AL though.

Just a basic Model 7 in either .308 or 7mm-08 would be the best all around rifle for the money.
