[QUOTE="Buano, post: 1994359, member: 21641"] I've carried a Weatherby Alaskan (standard weight Mark-V) or an Accumark (a bit heavier) through the mountains, and either gets a bit heavy. Each also shoots extremely well. There is generally a tradeoff between rifles that are easy to cary and those that shoot well. Most hunters would do better losing the 2-3 pounds off their butt and gut as they get in shape for a mountain hunt. Losing 2-3 pounds ANYWHERE means that much less for your legs and lungs to deal with. That said, if money was no object, the new 6.5 Weatherby RPM in their [URL='https://weatherby.com/store/markv-backcountry-ti/']Mark V Backcountry Ti[/URL] is something to drool over! While I prefer larger cartridges for elk, (I cary a .300 Weatherby or .338/378 Weatherby for elk.) the 6.5 RPM Backcountry TI would be hard not to reach for on a mountain hunt if there was one in the safe.
