P.s. i bought some pretty top end gear for this mountain hunting stuff anyhow, want to be ultra capable and light on my back for the long daytrip type stuff...so fun to think about having a rifle totally dedicated to this is all...people have needed alot less reason than taking up a new critter to hunt to get a new rifle ya know.  |
In that case, Wholesale still lists some old-style 700 Titanium's on sale ($100 off) in 7mm RSAUM. I know the cartridge is dead, but handloading for it will still work -- and those ballistics in a 5.5 pound gun would be damn near perfect.
Or the Kimber 84M montana in .260 or 7-08. Even lighter and only a little less flat shooting.
Both will set you back around $1350.
