You arent allowed to post that without showing some pics of the rams for us die hard sheep hunters!!!
Sounds like you're on the right track Mad....biggest thing to remember is the most important factor in getting up a mountain is both physical and mental conditioning. The lightest fancy rifle in the world doesnt make it easy if you arent ready for the mountains.
That being said, building a nice LW rig is a lot of fun. I had one built by Corlanes and it turned out very nice. Lots of good 'used' ones around too and some very good actions kicking around to start a project from with little or no use.....
