[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1195940, member: 68875"] My suggestion: Take your Rem Mountain rifle, true the action,re-barrel it with a Bartlein #3 fluted and chamber to 7 RM or .300 WM, add a muzzle brake, open bolt face to magnum .532" (or buy a PT&G bolt), buy a nice lightweight scope and be done. Sell the other 2 guns to cover cost easily. I have a Rem 700 BDL LA w. 26" Bartlein #3 fluted chambered in 7RM throated for 180s, APA Micro Bastard brake, HS Precision stock (so you can shave some off there), Timney CE trigger, Seekins 20MOA aluminum Picatinny base, Badger rings, and S&B PMII 3-20x50 (which weighs 34oz, so you can save some weight there too), all in a package that weighs 9lbs. 8oz., shoots a 168 HVLD @ 3075fps, a 180 Berger @ 3000fps, or a 183 SMK @ 2980fps, all into sub-half MOA groups. I could easily be at 8.5lbs. with a lighter scope and/or stock. Without scope, I am into the rifle for about $2100 or so. Rifle/base/rings weigh 7lbs. 4oz.
