Lotsa threads about "best" rifle for long range, light, mountain, price, yadda yadda....But what would you buy just for the hell of it? Sure, you might hunt with it, but not necessarily a "purpose" driven choice or some fang dangled cartridge that's cool for the moment.
For me, I think it might be one of the circa 1980'ish pimped out Weatherby's in 257 or a jacked up Mauser actioned 7x57 with open sights. Kinda Robert Ruark Africa style.
No real reason, just kinda cool to have sorta thing.
.....................Well if given the choice amongst many possibilities, I just might go with a 6.5/300 Wby Ultralite MK5......Long range? Yep......Light? Good enough.....For mountains? Absolutely.....Price? Not cheap........Cool? Yup and quite the conversation piece as well......The ballistic king of the 6.5 family.
