I am looking at a new mountain rifle, specifically for a Dall sheep hunt I am going to book this year and need some opinions from everyone here. I currently shoot Tikka's in 300 wm and 7-08. I may end up just taking the 7-08 with a Leupold 4.5-14 on it that weighs 7.5 pounds. I am also tempted to but a new gun in 6.5 prc. I have been looking at the Tikka Veil wideland, the Savage Ultralite with the proof carbon barrel and the Browning Hells Canyon Speed. Thinking as lightweight as possible. The Savage wins there but I dont have a ton of experience with them. I have had a Browning in the past that I liked just didnt really need at the time so it went down the road.
Anyone with experience with all 3 or mainly just the Browning and Savage? Right now I am leaning more towards the Savage and putting a Swarovski 3-10 with the BRH reticle on there and calling it a day. I think that would make a heck of a mountain rifle. Should I just stick with the 7-08? Thanks for any advice!!
