[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2570242, member: 87243"] I'll add in an update since it's been a bit. I still hunt the same Wyoming 8k-10k+ mountains, hike in 2-5 miles with 50-60 lb packs (sometimes I'm lucky enough to use horses) but I have somewhat switched up to what I think will be an ideal setup. It's a 30 nosler in a 20" barrel, and will be ran exclusively supressed. It is also in an XLR folding chassis, so it fits nice in the pack. With the can, it is about like a 27" barreled rifle, and weighs 9.5 lbs all up, with the supressor. I wanted performance on par with a 24-26" 300 WSM, but from a 20" barreled, easy to handle rifle, thus the 30 nosler. Plenty of performance for elk out to 1000 and change, manageable to shoot, super handy, light enough to not be a burden, and heavy enough to make those long shots. My ideal desert pronghorn rifle is still a 14 lb 30" barreled .260 AI ha ha. It doesn't stray far from the truck, but it's a sweetheart to shoot, zero compromise there! [/QUOTE]
