In 2012, Remington introduced its current Mountain Rifle with a Bell & Carlson synthetic stock, nearly all metal constructed of stainless steel and a thin 22-inch barrel. The rifle was fairly light with a thin 22-inch barrel, slim forearm and slender grip, and my young sons eagerly carried it when hunting deer, antelope and elk.

I shot my first deer in 1966 with a Model 700 BDL. 270 Winchester provided this 100-yard group with Federal Non-Typical Whitetail ammunition loaded with 150-grain softpoint bullets.
