Alright been everywhere online beating my head against this. Don't need but really want to get a new elk capable but muley bashing rifle good to 500yrd max and I love the idea of a 280ai. My heart wants a 6-ish lb rifle with a 24" barrel + break on a nice mountain rifle platform. Looking for a 7.5lb all up gun. I have a great rem 700 custom shop mountain and love the ergos. I should also note that I'm not a handloader....yet. Will go there eventually with an AI but want to start with factory loads.
Been looking at the weather by Backcountry 2.0 but worried it's too light. Looking at a nosler 21 but worried it's too heavy. Anything else I should be considering? Also looked at the Christensen Mesas and Ridgeline but can't tell which of them actually has a 24" barell. Maybe wouldn't loose to much going to a 22"??
I'd go custom but want to keep this around the 2k mark or lower.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
