My Sendero in 25.06 topped with a Leopold varix-ll 4x-12x is my designated antelope gun. Works on deer too.
Never packed it up the mountain.View attachment 298957

Senderos are great rifles. Only thing that kept me away was weight. Same with the 700 long range. mtmuley

Working without a hitch for 22 years. mtmuley

I could show you something you’d prefer. I used that combo from 1999 - 2018, slowly moving away..

700, VX-3, 30-06

I am hunting this year with a Remington 700. It has a Leupold scope on it. mtmuley

I have been hunting that way for the last forty years. I am not dead yet.

I like it. Rebarrel to a slower twist after the season. Going to drop even more bullet weight and move monos at warp speed. mtmuley

What is that rifle chambered in? What year is it?

It’s a 30-06 made in 1984.

You’re going the wrong direction !

You trying to use up your RL25 at 110 grains per shot?

 

[Southern Elk]

I’ll be using my 30 plus year old Browning A bolt topped with a Leupold, driving my 30 year old Chevy, and drinking coffee out of a Stanley thermos that’s older than I am.

 

[Cornbread]

Here are two non-milled R700s, both in 300 RUM, and both with Leupold scopes.

Finally! The bolt on that rifle is on the correct side of the rifle!!! Ive got a the Rem 700 with the grey laminated stock (LSS) in .30-06. Bought it in 2001. That rifle is a shooter. 3/4" groups. I love that rifle. And I just put a Leupold VX5HD 3-15 on it.

92 grains. If I drop down in cartridge I have an .06 and a .270. I just really like the .300 RUM. Done a lot of work with it over the years between mine and friends rifles. I keep changing my mind, but a 168 Hammer HHT somewhere around 3500-3600 fps should work well. mtmuley

 

[Flatbrimmer]

I bought a 700 in .243 with a Burris on it for my son to shoot. Still have never fired it. Things heavy! I’ve seen a couple threads of people shooting elk with one but I feel like it’s a little small for elk.. He will most likely get his first deer with it next year, though!

Didn't you just put a lilja on that rifle?

Didn't get it done yet. Have all the parts, just had other stuff get in the way. mtmuley

I have a Remington 700 in 300 rum with a leupy on it. I use it as my rifle elk gun. Luckily I mostly archery hunt elk. I have bounced that thing off my face like a basketball more than once. I’m an ugly bastard. That gun hasn’t helped.

Heavy is a relative term. Lighter than an elk.

 

[ShootsManyBullets]

I remember my 700 was a nice little weapon right up to the point it went off while it was on the sling over my shoulder. I was in HS back then so I don't remember why/how it was loaded in that position but I remember it going off. Pretty sure that was the last time I had one chambered over my shoulder. It was also the last day that 700 spent in the field with me.

Good lord, everyone knows the 30-06 is obsolete. Damned unethical fool… least you could do is use a harder to find fad cartridge with a much smaller bullet with barely any difference in trajectory in a much more expensive rifle, at least then we’d know you weren’t in a coma.

What’s even worse is my bullet choice, 180 grain Remington Core lokt’s.

Yeah, I shoot a 4.5 Weatherchester Super Duper Magnum in a 117.6 grain. You wouldn’t know what that is, unless only elitests shoot that. The 30-06 is for ugly people.

You and mtmuley are probably the kind of people who even think you’d still be able to kill a deer while hunting in blue jeans and a flannel. Good luck suckas…. more for the rest of us!
