Primary rifle:
Christensen Mesa 700 action
Outlier 26” 300 PRC barrel
Grayboe phoenix 2 stock
Hornady 225 ELD-M
Sig DMR 5-30x56
Secondary rifle (backup at camp):
Winchester model 70 action
18” proof carbon barrel 7 WSM
Diligent Enticer L-Ti
Manners Eh-1 stock
Hornady 162 ELD-X
Sig DMR 3-18x44
I’ll add that we do not backpack very far once we leave our quads. Usually only a mile or two. The 300 PRC is a build I will be finishing up in a couple weeks after changing the rifle from the win mag that it used to be. It will be a heavy sob but I am going to take a cow with it this year just to get one under its belt as it’s my first hunt of the year. After this year I will not be packing that thing around and the m70 will become the primary rifle.
