modern mountain man rifle

A compact, lightweight, weather resistant, bolt rifle in .308. Quality low powered scope. This would be my choice for something im gonna carry in the mountains If u take a heavy rifle you will yearn for something lighter. ammo is available anywhere.

Remington 700 in .270, good light rifle in a cartrage with a flat trajectory.

Took the words right out of my mouth - its what I use here in the mountains of western Canada! The other option would be a lever action 30/30 with a good peep sight - nice and fast in the bush.

Not really impractical. One reason I loved my 1895 when I had it is that the .45-70 is a slow round and does not do a lot of meat damage -- meaning it doesn't leave a lot of bloodshot meat, even if you hit bone, like a higher velocity round will do.

Nice, soft-shooting 300-gr or Remington 405-gr loads do just fine on everything in the lower 48 and HI.

There, now you have a reason to go buy a rifle you don't need. ;)

You can thank me later. :cool:

I finally got one! The 1895G. Check out Marlin Owners Forums @ http://www.marlinowners.com/forums/index.php/board,56.0.html .
 
30/30 lever action - Cuz it's what I got ;)

But it is reliable, ammos cheap, and it's powerful enough to stop most critters.
