Browning Rifle Breakdown for Backcountry Hunting 

Thanks for checking out the video! And we agree... they are amazing to shoot.

It might not be for everyone, but this system works great for my style of hunting. Here are my thoughts, the weapon is what in the end, does the work. So to me, I'm not going to attempt to cut corners and try to build a "lightweight" backcountry rifle. This rifle I have packed around some crazy long trips on multi-day and week-long backpack trips. This rifle has a solid platform and performs flawlessly. My gun currently sits at 12 pounds with a sling and no ammo. And I honestly don't get annoyed at the weight one bit. I do the same thing with a bow, a heavy platform shoots better in my hand when I'm bowhunting as well. Brady Miller goHUNT Digital Content Manager

I had a custom made lightweight backpacking 6.5 PRC to go deep in the mountains. It is a little over 7 lbs. It would have been cheaper if I just lost 25 lbs for more efficient backcountry hikes, but what the hell. I ‘m working on it ; )@@GOHUNT

I second that. ""... but what the hell, I'm working on it."

Glad to hear we rubbed off on you, Forrest! That's the beauty of hunting, anything will work and it's fun to put together pieces of gear for a hunt. If you ever have specific questions, we are always here to help. Thanks for checking out the video.

Brady's rifle is right at 12 pounds with the sling attached and no ammo. He prefers a big heavy gun no matter the hunt.

Eric, I have been looking at the 6.5 PRC in a similar weight rifle. How do you like that recoil? I love my 6.5 CM recoil but wanted to have a more dual purpose rifle that could also handle elk out to 400 yards ish with the 6.5 PRC. My 30-06 punches too much for all day shooting at the range. Thanks.

Browning is best💪💪

It is a Triad Tactical Stock Pack

The Leopold is a second for sure. I’d imagine the vortex is an FFP but don’t quote me on it

Nelson Cobb I love mine

300 win 30.06 and 308 are all 308 diameter bullets

You tune a load with bullet seating depth after getting a powder charge that shoots well.

Haha them big ass rifles do look like sniper rifles

I doubt that he will mention that for safety of those who would read it. H1000 is a good powder for those heavier 30 cal bullets.

Happy to answer this for you. But as Forrest mentioned, I will start off by saying that for all safety in reloading, read the recommended powder weight and always work up from the low end. My 300 Win Mag I'm running 76.7 grains of H1000, Federal 215M primers, Norma brass, 215 Berger Hybrid bullets and I seat them 0.015 off the lands. This Browning has a 26 inch 1:8 twist barrel and with my load combo, I'm pushing 2970 fps and very low ES. Brady Miller goHUNT Digital Content Manager

Thanks Brady,I understand working up the loads as every gun is different. My brother has just purchased a BROWNING TWIN to yours,already have H1000 and 215 BERGIES. IT'S going to be fun,Thanks for your HONESTY-HAPPY HUNTING.

​@GOHUNT that is very good velocity for that charge and bullet. I run 82.5 gn of H1000 topped with a 180gn at 3050fps and a 24 inch barrel. This is an all purpose load from moose to deer. Nice rifles. Only drawback to a Browning is the lawyerized triggers.
