[QUOTE="johnlittletree, post: 1500675, member: 105653"] In fact the old school Ultra Light Arms was the ideal design elements for a mountain rifle. You are not building it to shoot 60 shots of 300 Win Mag from a bench or prone or 60 rounds off hand of a super wamy magnum. The idea is to have a rifle light enough to carry all day and take one maybe 2 shots a day on large game in the mountains at a long distance. It does not take a muzzle break to take 1-2 shots max each day until you hit the legal limit in your area. If your hunting area is highly developed or not at all extreme or you are on horse back or on a quad than you really do not need a "mountain rifle". Just because the terrain is steep does not mean it is difficult terrain that needs a true mountain gun. As men we should be word smiths and keep in mind that words have specific meaning. One does not need to have a Master's from an Ivy League University to grasp the concept of a "Mountain Rifle" it is no more up for debate what that means than the term V8 means an engine in a V configuration with exactly 8 cylinders not inline, not 4, 6, 10 or 12. Before any intelligent conversation can be had on any topic everyone has to agree to the meaning of words that is why medicine, law, aviation and mathematics etc....all have very specific words with well defined meanings.
