What rifle would you pick?

Another one worth looking into would be the Nosler Custom.  Here is one in 270WSM for $2,500.

Or the Nosler M48 Legacy in .257 Roberts  Link

or .280 Ackley Imp

[Curly]

This is what I'd get if I had your "problem".  I'd get a Rbros custom in .264 Win Mag.  Link

It is a little over your budget, but would be well worth the little bit extra $......

OMG, that is some riffle porn right there!!

I'd go pick up an 86 or a 71 or 92 or something like that, and I would try to get two of them.  I have every bolt gun that I want.

  Since you have loads of rifles, go hunting instead.

Cooper makes an outstanding rifle.  Or you can do what I am doing and build your own,  I am taking the action out of my Rem 700 XCR 7mm Ultra mag and rebarreling it with a 300 Ultra mag Kreiger barrel, a Mcmillian A4 Stock and a Jewell trigger, all you have to do is find a good gunsmith to put it all together, blue print the action then top it off with the scope of your choice, mine is a Nightforce 5-32x56.  But if you aren't up for all that I would go with the Cooper.

I got 2 and they are great rifles.  I just wish they offered an Excalibur in a magnum and I would be all over it.

Since you are a mountain hunter I assume you like lite weight rifles. If you need a new rifle I would get a Tikka or a Weatherby ultra lightweight in .270 win. I have both and both are extremely accurate. I know Tikka is not a great looking rifle, but nothing shoots better right out of the box.

 Cooper Model 54 in .257 Roberts

[MuleySniper]

The Coopers seem nice although the ones I see have very plain wood for the money. A high dollar rifle with a wood stock should have a grade A stock. Get yourself something in .257 wby like you mentioned.... Nothing disappointing from any wby caliber.

Dang, some of the rifles mentioned need to come with a porter....its a sheep hunt.

Find a 700ti la and stuff a tube on it.....you have time.
