[QUOTE="trueblue, post: 286491, member: 10654"] winelines, I understand your desire for a lighter rifle. Last year I carried a 13 1/2# rifle for 5 days on an elk hunt. After that, I dicided to put together a lighter rig. I went with a #4 contour Hart 30cal barrel 24" long w/ HS Precision stock With a 2.5x10-32mm NXS scope, this rig should weigh no more than 10# and give me shooting distance to 7-800 yards if needed. I will still carry my heavier rig at times, but need to come up with a better backpack system than what I am using now. [/QUOTE]
