[QUOTE="Reelamin, post: 2765064, member: 42157"] I would never disagree a heavier rifle is easier to shoot accurately. I would say it is not easy to shoot accurately in a normal hunting situation for me. Heaviest I ever packed was a Sendero for a couple years and it was a royal pain in the butt. Felt like I was packing and moving a telephone pole around. Ready to hunt with ammo and sling weights. A 9.5# 300RUM has my longest kills where I hit where I had intended at only 650,800yds measured. I have been going lighter, and have about hit the bottom weight of what I am willing to spend. Savage UL 28N 8.5#, 338 Edge 9.5# are the two waiting to kill something. [/QUOTE]
