[quote}Can anyone answer this for me: I would like a 270WSM to take on a high muley hunt. I want a LIGHTWEIGHT accurate reliable gun... under 1000.[/quote]

KImber Montana in 270 wsm should be just the ticket. I'm thinking of getting one but can't decide on the caliber. I posted a review from one of the shooting mags but can't remember which one. Do a Kimber search and you should be able to find it. Hope I didn't mess anyone up by actually anwering the question.
