Personally, I prefer the drop plate to the detachable mag. Remington now makes the standard wood and blue model with a detachable magazine, and a stainless model with a laminated stock drop plate magazine. First came the standard Mountain Rifle like the one pictured above with the wood stock and drop plate magazine, then a stainless synthetic model with the ADL type stock with no drop plate, then the current models with detachable magazines. Over the years since Remington introduced the Mountain Rifle, there have been several variations. This rifle will shoot just about any ammo into sub-moa groups. Don’t let this slim barrel make you think accuracy will suffer. More weight is saved by slimming the barrel but keeping it 22″ long for good velocity. The classic style stock is slim for weight savings, has the classic point checkering, black forend tip and grip cap, rubber but pad, cheek piece w/o a silly Monte Carlo hump, and a drop-down floor plate for unloading. It starts with the proven M700 action, the action chosen for more target and custom rifles than any other, the great adjustable M700 trigger, and the best stock design ever made for a factory rifle. The lightweight Mountain rifle (only 6.5 pounds) was made with the best features usually found only in custom rifles. 280 Remington caliber is the best combination I have ever found for deer hunting. Here’s what’s available so far.The Remington 700 Mountain Rifle in. The Savage Axis II XP will is available in a variety of calibers with barrel twist rates optimized for each chambering. The new Axis II rifles offering some interesting features, especially considering the price point. I shot two groups of each ammo type and averaged the results. I was testing another rifle the same day, so I was able to alternate after every three-shot group to allow the Savage Axis II XP to cool down. It’s unlikely that a rifle like this would be fired rapidly enough to heat the barrel so I didn’t want to skew results that way. With velocity worked out, I then set up fresh targets at 100 yards and fired three-shot groups which I feel is a more realistic hunting rifle test as shooting volume will be low. 308 Winchester 150-grainįederal Premium Berger Hybrid Hunter. 308 Winchester 180-grainįederal Premium Barnes TSX.

As you’ll see, they are very close and in one case of the Barnes TSX, virtually identical. The table below shows the “on the box” velocity ratings and the actuals I measured.
