[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1036401, member: 33822"] My ultimate mountain rifle is a 338 RUM, 27" #4 barrel plus brake. The rifle without a scope weighs exactly 8 lbs. Add a scope and it's right at 10 lbs for the entire setup. Run a heavy bullet with high BC, and it's a hammer for elk and anything smaller. The rifle is heavy enough to shoot long range and light enough to carry a long ways. Lots of opinions, obviously 7mm is going to be a popular choice. My opinion is that once you step up to a big bodied animal like an elk, you're in the big leagues for North American big game, and the 338 is going to outperform anything else in a pack weight rifle.
