I'd have no fear using either, even the most common complaint for tikka rifles (magazine length/short standard 'Saami') as if you are deer or chamois or whatever else whether here or across the pond, you could always single load those big sexy monolithic high bc rounds.
Look end of the day there are very few rifles you can go wrong with these days for what you're after, however European brands and a couple of USA brands are particularly good at making rifles especially for mountain terrain hunting. this usually means lightweight fluted barrels. and stout lightweight actions. you will get this from Tikka/Sako, Kimber, Sauer, Sabatti, etc etc etc etc could list dozens, as far as rifles to avoid, well I think Mossberg make serviceable shotguns, but the rest of their catalogue are just complicated sticks.
stand outs for me would be hammer forged like sabatti and sako/tikka however if I wanted a light action with good to superior accuracy.
