    Ohio

    long time lurker here that normally shoots elk with a lever action. Been looking for a lightweight "mountain" rifle for awhile for an upcoming Wyoming elk hunt this fall. After shooting a 6.5 PRC I have chosen that caliber. I looked at Christensen Arms, Nosler, Tikka, Kimber, Seekins...
