Trying to choose the best rifle...

My Dad and I both had BAR's, and we both finally went for something lighter. My BAR was very accurate with my handloads, but the older I got the heavier the BAR got. Dad went with a Ruger 77 Ultralight, and kept that till he could no longer hunt. If you could find a used Ultralight in 270, or one of the Remington Mountain Rifles they made at one time (and maybe still make?), those would do just fine for hunting the mountains.
 
If you've got to hump up and down hills, choose the lightest one you've got. I suspect the Win70 in 270 would be the one and it will kill Mulies as far as you would responsibly want to shoot.
