The earlier comment about a Controlled Round Feed rifle was for fun to stir up the push feed boys. In the mountains on wilderness hunts, I do feel the CRF bolt action rifle is the most reliable choice.
Looks like the OP may be limited to what his guide has available but this does pique my curiosity. I own CRFs mostly, but In my opinion, CRF vs push feed is way down on the list of criteria I'd use to choose a rifle for a mountain hunt.
What is it about a push-feed action that makes it not reliable enough for a mountain hunt?
