[QUOTE="MTLIVIN, post: 1196388, member: 42384"] I went through the same process about a year ago, ended up with a savage action build for a 7mm and a finished weight of 9lbs with scope. Definitely a 800-1000 yard hunting rifle but I still don't consider it a plinker cause I'm not about to burn that barrel any faster than needed. I'd consider keeping your 270 WSM Kimber and building a 6.5 creedmore, 260, 6.5x284 or any of the 6mm's. I use my savage 116 in 6.5x284 for putting a lot of rounds down range and will be re barreling soon as a result. Mtn rifles are great for hiking, but all magnum Mtn rifles will need chill time at the range, so bring 2! [/QUOTE]
