[QUOTE="Idaho Lefty, post: 1569294, member: 104437"] Our "Mountain Rifles" are TIKKA's,. 7.5 Pounds, Scoped and a TOTAL cost w/ Scope of, $1,200. Max ! They easily shoot, Sub MOA and we can "Dial" our "Validated Loads" to 750 Yards ( IF necessary ) Realistically, a ton of Game is shot at LESS THAN, 400 yards ! Personally. I wouldn't buy anything bigger than, a .270 WSM or 7mm Rem Mag tho, to keep RECOIL "reasonable" so you can practice, a LOT ! When you have, 250-300 pounds of Elk meat, to carry out of, the Back Country, WHY,.. carry, MORE ??? Trued, "blue printed" actions, are a waste of $$$'s for a "Mountain Rifle" as, NO Bench rest's are available, "up there", on the Mountain, just Pack's, Stix and bipods ! Fun to "fantasize" but,.. THIS ^^^ is what reality,. IS ! Bring on, the Haters ! LOL ! You asked for, "experience", & the .30-06 / .270's will Kill, Moose too, with "right" Bullet ! [/QUOTE]
