Recommended suggestions for a mountain rifle

I have a Sako A7 "Big Game" in 270win. I love it. It shoots great, has a smooth action, a B&C stock, and a pretty good factory trigger. Only thing I'd change is the plastic trigger guard and clip. I don't really care about the ease, or lack thereof, of the mag release. If I need more than 4 shots, I need to practice more. At least I know I won't somehow lose it in the field lol

I have a 700 Mountain Lite Stainless/Synthetic spider web stock or whatever that cool looking design is. ( think that's the name on it ) in 25-06 I bought at an auction, brand new. It's very, very light. It's a $1200 retail gun. I don't know if they make it in different calibers or not. It's friggin' nice. I put a Vortex on it, so it's really cool now.

I've killed 2 elk and several deer with the 257roy and 100gr tsx's......it's the best point and click 400 yard gun you can find.....imo.

Do you mean .257 Roberts?

Call Melvin @ New Ultra Light Arms 304-292-0600. He will answer the phone and you wont have to pay his retail prices advertised on his website.

I just bought a kimber mountain ascent in 308, mounted a leupold vx3 3.5-10x40mm scope on. It's only a 13 ounce scope, 3 ounces heavier than the leupold 3-9 ultralight and a much higher quality scope. Super light. Haven't sighted in but going to the range within the next few days. It's really amazing once you carry one how light it is! But still feels solid and balanced. I wanted to hear from sum Mountain Ascent owners of there were any on here and how they liked the gun.

Weatherby ultra lightweight or Tikka. I have both and like both.

Went and shot the mountain ascent today. I HIGHLY recommend getting one. Shot extremely well with not much adjustment. Fed and cycled very smooth I couldn't be happier with it so far

Did you shoot it with and without the break?  Wondering what kind of POI change there is.  I'd think with the light weight barrel there would be some change.  But very interested in just how much.

I only shot it with the break. I read in another forum about how the break is actually more for improved accuracy with a lightweight barrel rather than a reduction in recoil so I decided just to keep it on all the time. But Ya I'm sure there might be some change in POI!

Kimber Montana is and was my go to gun in .308, on any back pack hunt I previously did in AK...  Super light, go compare with any of the others..  I like it, stainless and plastic stock takes beating and still looks great...  Leupold ultra light scope and a tactical sling make it super easy to carry...

I think he means 257 Roy (Weatherby) not 257 Bob (Roberts) 

I'll second or third the Sako Finlight for mountain use, mines in .308

I handled the ascent a couple hrs ago... Dang... What a nice feeling and amazingly well trimmed gun!! Would love to shoot one!

Couple of days ago I was looking at Savage Lightweight Hunter in 260 rem. Light as feather, shouldered well too.
