[QUOTE="LongBomber, post: 1484809, member: 14435"] ^Thats about the only thing I would change as well- the caliber. You don't need a big rifle for sheep/goats/mule deer (typical mtn hunts). Personally for a mtn gun I like a 6.5 almost any of the 6.5's. If you want something light it should fit in a true short action, I went 260ai but a 6.5wsm , Sherman short, or gap 4s would be where I would go. My AI pushes a 129gr 3040fps, it can go a bit over 3100 before pressure signs hit but the top node I can hit is 3040. I don't disagree with an intergral rail, esp on a Ti action. One less thing to fail and very minimal weight in Ti. Some high quality light mounts (murphy ti maybe) and it would make a really sweet setup. [/QUOTE]
