Looking to build a rifle for general purpose Mtn hunting: deer and some elk here in CO, have a couple sheep and goat hunts the next few years in Canada and Alaska. I really like the tikka action and am planning to go that direct for sure. Now the choice is really down to caliber. I've been leaning toward the 284win but now second guessing myself and wondering if I should build a 6.5 PRC. Either would be built around Berger bullets (168VLD or 156 EOL). Goal is a 7.5-8lb all up rifle with no longer than 23" barrel that can get it done easily out to 600-700 yards.
