I'm past climbing, but I hunt in the mountains - I guess this
area has mountains. Valleys of moose at any rate. Never
hunted any sheep or goats, but a lighter rifle in one of the
accurate fast twist 6.5's would be my choice with longer,
heavier 140gr. high BC bullets, A-max, ELD or whatever.
The Nosler 6.5 version comes to mind.
With tougher bullets it would also work well on moose and elk.




Agree-- a nice 6.5 for most would be perfect...good selection of bullets, great BC ..plenty of horsepower...

As stated earlier, for most shots out to 4-500 yards, not sure it makes much difference.. they are all very close.. really like my little 280AI.. surprising how it drops game..even out there to 600yds...with the little 140gr Accubonds..

My mountain gun is also a Rifles inc in 300 win mag, probably a bit much for sheep but is a great all around er imo. Easy to carry, very accurate, vastly forgiving.




Rifles Inc are great guns... very light and very accurate... that 300 Win is a great caliber..IMHO, perfect for pretty much anything non-dangerous game related... with plenty of energy way, way out there...
