[QUOTE="Quintus, post: 2765236, member: 67552"] I always like this point, but for guys with beer bellies it doesn't translate, they just don't walk that far from the truck at elevation regardless of rifle weight. Leaving the truck for days without anyone else sharing camp weight cutting 3 pounds from a shootin rig, light tent, light clothing, light food, etc. makes a big difference especially if you are having to carry water. I do appreciate shooting a heavy gun, but anything I have over 9 pounds loaded only goes out on day hunts. I'm not old, but I'm definitely not young. I quit carrying 13 pound guns about 20 years ago.
