[QUOTE="Alan Griffith, post: 684035, member: 4686"] Bingo! I've been running two different 6.5x47's over the past 3 years. I LOVE this cartridge and I own a VERY accurate Rem 700 CDL SF Limited in 260 Rem. The -47 is such an easy cartridge to load for; no neck trimming, excellent Lapua brass, long barrel life, fits a short action, rarely run into a situation where loading long bullets would create issues with a short action mag and is not a powder hog only using around 36 to 41 gr of Hodgdon Extreme Varget or H4350. The speeds mention above by 270WinShort are VERY doable. I'm not sure what you would consider Mountain deer gun weight since you didn't post any specs. I had a light "LR" rifle built on the aforementioned Pierce short action but CM not Titanium, 24.5" #3 Brougton in a McMillan Edge filled Rem Sporter with a Rifle Basix trigger and the weight is 6 lbs 11 oz. Add a lighter Leupold VX3 of your flavor or the heavier Viper you already own and see where you come out at. I braked mine a year after owning it but not due to recoil but so I can watch my bullet impacts at 300+ yds. Enjoy! Alan [/QUOTE]
