So, in other words, you don't use a mountain rifle, designed for the mountains, in the mountains.
Got it... will take your recommendations in that context. You and Big Stick.

I have used a rifle designed for the mountains in mountains. I haven't hunted unsupported backpack trips in Montana with it. Why do you persist with this stupidity?
Do you believe that every Mobtana sold (or even a significant minority) is used for unsupported backpack hunting in Montana?
You who have never mounted a similar optic to a Montana, yet you "know" that it will somehow ruin the rifle. Exactly how valuable is your insight in this matter?
