[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 2663380, member: 54178"] I like the 6.5 Weatherby RPM [I]and[/I] the Weatherby Backcountry 2.0 rifle. That rifle is likely THE best mountain rifle on the market. 1.) titanium action 2.) carbon fiber stock 3.) Trigger Tech trigger 4.) carbon fiber [I]tensioned[/I] barrel (the best way to do a CF barrel for consistent accuracy) 5.) spiral fluted bolt (lightens bolt and provides a place for ice, dirt & debris to go and stay out of the bolt path) 6.) radial muzzle brake Those features in a custom rifle would cost many thousands more than the Backcountry 2.0. Disclaimer: I have a 6.5 PRC Browning X-Bolt Pro that is "one step down" in features from the Backcountry 2.0 but still a fairly advanced mountain/long range rifle. The Weatherby is what I'd call state-of-the-art at this time. I'm partial to 3 lug bolts and light (accurate) rifles. [/QUOTE]
