Loaded with premium features, the new M48 Mountain Carbon looks to set a new standard for backcountry hunting rifles.

The new Xtreme Ascent rifle combines the company's dual-lug Model 1999 cast action with a featherweight contour, button-rifled fluted barrel and a durable synthetic stock to create a rugged rifle that’s light enough to comfortably carry in even the toughest backcountry hunts.

A great mountain rifle is lightweight, accurate and able withstand all weather conditions. Regardless of the game you’re pursing or your budget, there’s a rifle on this list for you.
