[QUOTE="grit, post: 624627, member: 4112"] For a lightweight /mountain/ sheep rifle I would suggest a 7RSAUM. Keep it in a short action with an extended mag box. You start with a more compact action. Keep the barrel to a #4 or 5 24". You'll have a compact, package with great balance, and all the performance of the 280AI. Put it in a Manners MCS-t. Run the 160 accubond or168 Berger. For a long action, I suggest the 7-300WSM. 180 Bergers at 3000fps. The long action and big bullets give you a couple hundred yards of extra reach. Either way 1000 yards will be comfortable. If you want to run 140 bullets step down to a 260 or similar 6.5. [/QUOTE]
