[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1739189, member: 13632"] If you apply the same effort to working with a light rifle as you do packing a heavy one you can enjoy both accuracy and light weight. You pack extra weight all day it wears on you, I have only so many miles in my ankle specifically and dropping 8 lbs of a rifle was very noticable at the days end while climbing for sheep or even elk hunting not to mention you have a rifle that is actually usable from more positions than your belly. I resisted light for a long time rolled out with 14-18 lb guns because I though I needed them for accuracy but that's just a myth. I've dropped over 20 lbs of my whole kit and it's amazing, dropped 30 lbs of my counter weight too which was excellent gained a little back through a stressful summer but elk season usually sees me drop 10+ lbs.
