I know you wrote crf and this is the Winchester site, but having shot a .300 WM Pre-64 M70 back before I could afford my own rifles, I didn't much like the recoil and the older I get, I'm enjoying recoil even less. Anyway, you are going add some addition weight with a crf over a push feed action. You asked for actual weight of a build and I just weighed my 7mm RM with my Normark digital fish scale at 7 pounds 2 ounces.
Here is the recipe:
M700 Remington action
#1 taper ss 24" barrel
Brown Precision Kevlar Pound'r stock
2.5-10x42 Swarovski PH scope
Conetrol rings and bases
Hard chrome plated action
Full camo painted
About as perfect a mountain rifle as I could have put together and my elk were just as deceased as my buddies elk were with their .300 WM and .338 WM's. Even a light 7mm RM recoils some and mine is too big for around here, so it will be on the be in the classifieds sooner or later.
My other auto is a .45
The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has faded from memory

Other options are a Montana in 280 Ackley, and a 7lb 14oz M-70 7mm Rem Mag, both shoot the 160 Accubond at around 3050 FPS. When Kimber came out with that 280 AI those things sold like hot cakes to sheep hunters up here in Alaska. now most are using 6.5 CM and the 280 AI have been relegated to the safe.. Call me mr nostalgia but I chose a winchester because that's what Jack O'Connor used for his sheep hunts. I think the perfect rifle would be a stainless classic featherweight in a chambering of your choice.. if I sheep hunt next year I'm going to use a blued featherweight classic in a 270 with 150gr Sierra's. Finding a new haven classic featherweight getting harder and harder.

I cant believe the prices of some of these classic rifles lately. I damn near bought that one, but i need another 30-06 like i need a hole in my head.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

The op should have bought my 7wsm i sold on gb. It would have been an awesome donor for a 6.5 prc build.

Sheep hunters are a weird bunch, when it comes to weight most will only take a handful of cartridges for their rifle. Some take 10 extra rds us what’s in rifle magazine. It’s all About weight like I said they are a weird bunch lol most sheep hunters been bit by the bug and there drive for the lightest and best is crazy. I have a $400 sleeping bag weighs hair over 1Lb, my tent weighs less than 3lbs. If you use magnum you only have 3rds in the mag, So is 2 extra rds in the mag that big of deal all depends who you talk to.. also I’m no hardcore sheep hunter, I’m a novice..

But never hurts to have an excuse to build another rifle though 😁 but I would concentrate on buying tent, sleeping bag etc. don’t know when your hunt it fall of 20 or fall of 21.

I have a custom Pete Grisel DSB small ring Mauser stocked by Ottmar that I'd love to hunt sheep with.
.270, shoots 130 Partitions at 3100 over the standard load of H4831SC.
But with grizzly on the menu, and inclement weather probable, I dare not.

But with grizzly on the menu, and inclement weather probable, I dare not. That screams JOC right there! Do you mean you have a griz tag as well? Or you’re just going to be in griz country? Seems like if you bumped up to a 150 Partition you’d be well healed for both and be in the mountains with a classic.

When I had a 270, that is the bullet I decided on for an all around do anything bullet for around here. I ended up buying a chit load of them from SPS and then sold my 270 fwt to someone that wanted it more than I did...

Putting wax in it is one way.. true oil gun stock wax.. I’m Sure others have better ways/ideas..

I’d make sure any unfinished areas such as the barrel inlet, action inlet and recoil pad area get a bunch of Marine Spar Varnish. Other than that, if the woods sealed well I’d be good with it. Sounds like a beauty.

Keep the 280 and split the difference I hunt that 280 AI in the Kimber that's for sure. I have no issue using 160 AB on brown bear.
