My idea of a mountain rifle is a trimmed down version of a standard rifle.
Remington offered their Model 700 in a slimmer rifle with a lighter barrel and stock, but not shortened in length.
My Weatherby ultra lightweight could be defined as a mountain rifle at around 8#s ready to go.
I have carried a 300 wm A-Bolt Stanless Stalker up and down the black hills. It worked fine.
Definition of Mountain Rifle: the heaviest longer range shooter you are willing to carry up a mountain
