Here's a pic of my Remington 700 Mountain Rifle. This one is a walnut stocked, detachable magazine chambered for 7mm-08. It is sporting a Nikon Buckmasters 4X40 scope on Leupold base and rings. I put a Butler Creek sling on it and it weighs in at less than 8 pounds. I lightened the trigger down to around 3 pounds, but it still has some takeup I don't like. I may replace the trigger if I keep the rifle. I am going to take it to the range again in the morning and see how it does from a benchrest instead of offhand. This morning, resting on a range bag, I was getting about 3 or 4 inch groups at 100 yards shooting Hornady 139gr SST Light Magnums. I guess for a modern day production rifle, this isn't too bad, but I am hoping for better.
The lever gun is a Winchester 94 Trapper with a walnut stock and foregrip and a 16" barrel. It is chambered for .44 Magnum and is very accurate (40 yard cloverleafs, iron-sighted, from a semi-rest).
