I see that Ruger lists the Lipsey 1A ? In 6.5 CM with 24” bbl at 6.8 lbs.

I’m thinking that would be the modern day “Lazy Man’s” choice.
Consistent chambering, Easy ammo selection, etc. Reasonable weight

Jack’s notion Of a sheep or mountain rifle, would probably fit in with MuleDeers notion of a light Plains Rifle


History May Not Repeat, But it Rhymes.
