[QUOTE="hammertyme, post: 498391, member: 12863"] Climbing Alaska mountains for more than 3 decades I too found it necessary to lighten everything. A fact of life if you will. That and why would a carry a 10-12 pound rifle when a 4-6 pound specialty pistol will do the same thing. I currently have 5 338's and they all weigh with scope ready to hunt 5.2 on the break open 338 Gibbs to my wifes 6.2 pounds 338WSM to the big boy 8 pound 338 Edge. Stocks and little bitty pencil barrel and you can have a mighty light gun. I currently have a 19" barreled 338 Win Mag rifle I use as a backup when asked to do so for Brown Bear. It is a Savage repeater and scoped it weighs 6 pounds something with a cheapo tupperware stock. Not sure why one would carry extra weight when they do not have to. But I am a lazy cuss and always looking for a cheaper or better way of conserving money or energy. Neal [/QUOTE]
