So I picked up a Remington 700 Mountain Rifle in 30-06. Came with a Redfield 3x9 accurange scope that apparently was the scope the USMC used on the original M40 back in the day. Also has an old school military style leather sling.

Seems like a good start for my GP Rifle. Going to shoot as is for as while to see how I like the current setup. Only thing that is for sure going to get changed is the stock. The wood is to pretty for me to bang it up.

If I like the scope and find the light weight barrel lacking I might put in a medium weight barrel and turn this thing into a Vietnam era M40ish rifle.
