Personally, i'd carry the lightest rifle i had, and a 4-12 optic.
Your not going to be "undergunned" with the 7mm-08AI. And your Leupold or Burris would be fine.

Being an Easterner, and having gone to Colorado, when i got a chance at a used Forbes 24B in 280 Rem, i jumped at it! Wearing a Sightron 4-12X40 scope, and sling i'm right at 7lb.
It is now my most grabbed rifle i own when hunting.
