[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 1399409, member: 63138"] As to rifle weight, I've heard is said on this site that ALL advantages go to the heavier rifle - except weight. Pretty good way to explain it. I won't say you can't hit a game animal at 1000 yards from a field rest with a 10 lb rifle but you will hit it more consistently with a 12 lb rifle all other things being equal. Also, kind of along the lines of what 300Whisper said - carrying a 12 lb rifle versus an 10 lb rifle gives you a free workout and if the rifle is well balanced you won't really notice the difference.
