[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 2548202, member: 10291"] I think rifle weight/design is all about acclimation and confidence in the rifle. This is my rifle used for +90% of my hunting for the past dozen years for both carry and stationary hunting. Scope choice(a high priority with my rifles), has evolved over this period. For short-mid-range stalking/carry, removing the bipod and switching to my lighter March scope will pull the weight down to just under 10 pounds if desired, but I usually don’t bother. Accounting for over 60 game animals from 100-1200 yards, the balance, weight and ergonomics suites me well whether the situation calls for a quick off-hand shot at short range, or a surgical LR prone shot at 1000+ yards. Most all my hunts are “Like a box of chocolates, you never know………”. [ATTACH type="full" alt="F2DA6BD7-C645-4056-A34F-813BCD97961C.jpeg"]371039[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
