I'm not in the shape most of you guys are, though I am working on it so I can be ready to fill my Mt Goat tag here in Idaho. That said my gun choices were a Tikka T3 Lite in 25-06 or a choice of two 7mm RM's that shoot great but weigh 10lbs all in. I found a Rem Mountain Rifle in .280, listed at 6.5lbs, so not ultralight. Probably starting with heavier 160-168gr bullets at 2800fps. Limit to 400 yards, assuming it shoots MOA or better.
While I understand these critters are tough and thick, any reasons this gun shouldn't be sufficient if I do my part on placement?
