Longer range mountain rifle opinions

[Andy92]

Im trying to decide on a lighter weight mountain hunting rifle that has potential for longer range practice and good accuracy. I was thinking between the bergara m14 wilderness and a christensen arms mesa? Any opinions? 6.5 prc will be the caliber Thanks in advance

Have you had a chance to get behind either one? Check for natural point of aim and which one feels more comfortable. Both are pretty similar in basic specs (length, weight, features, etc).

Avoid Christianson. Get a seekins havak

I had a Havak in 6.5 CM for about 2 years. Amazing rifle. I put it into a KRG X Ray chassis, but I used it for competition rather than mountain hunting. The lightweight Havak with the fluted barrel would be a brilliant choice. I forgot all about it the first time I read your post. My buddy who spent 6+ years as a hunting guide (now just hunts recreationally) just bought one and he loves it too.

How about the 6.5 RPM? They're about five pounds.

Either build off a Tikka or look at the Springfield 2020 Waypoint

How do you define Mtn Rifle? What is the budget? Fierce Fury Cooper 92 are dandies. The Cooper is lighter and the Fierce has the accuracy edge.

Savage Ultralight $1300 and weighs exactly on my scale 6lb bare rifle.

Seekins Havak

Browning X-bolt pro... Maybe?
