[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1196049, member: 7999"] Lots of opinions, so I might as well give mine. I would take your mountain rifle and have it re barreled with a 24" barrel and chamber it in 30-06. You have a set limit of 500 yards and an 06 will run to 500 very nicely for any animal on the North American Continent. The 06 will run the 180g bullets 2800 to 2900 fps. Not a magnum so much less powder, less recoil, less barrel heat, and muzzle brake becomes optional instead of needed. Now you have your 30 cal and weight can easily be down where you want it. My .02 Steve [/QUOTE]
