I did something very similiar recently. Sold a lot of my collection and switched to a more "quality vs quantity" mentality. I kept one light sporter weight rifle around however, and I am sure glad I did. I would recommend the same to you. I went with a nice custom (Rbros) in .300 Win Mag and launch the 215 Hybrids just under 3k. It's a hammer on anything, and shoots very very well. I kept mine as light as I could for a long range hammer at 11# 10oz with a 5-25x56 ATACR enhanced on there. Even that is light for a lot of rigs on here, I still end up taking both that and a lighter sporter weight rifle in the truck on most hunts. If I cut fresh tracks and am bailing off in dark timber, I take the light gun. If I don't and work down a ridge looking cross canyon or work a bowl, etc... I take ODIN (the long range hammer). Good luck, lots of competent smiths in MT like you said. But I would consider keeping one of your lightweight rigs. I missed chances at two bulls in the dark timber this year because I had my long range rig and wasn't carrying it in my hands and it took too long to get ready for a shot. If I would have had my LAW in my hands it would have been a dead bull. I echo keeping with .300 Win Mag, and getting some H1000 and Berger 215 Hybrids! Good luck!
