[QUOTE="ndczerwinski, post: 1956119, member: 104046"] On the weight thing this is what my friend recommended and I thought it made a lot of sense. I went through my safe and thru a bunch of my existing rifles on my back until I found one where I said this gun is the maximum weight that I would want to carry a long way on a hunt. Then I took all my guns at that weight or lighter and dry fired them off hand to see if there was a point where I could hold the gun steadier. There was no noticeable advantage once I got so to a certain point. Once I decided which of my existing guns was the most desirable weight wise for a hunting rifle I went and threw it on a scale. The result was 9 lbs +/-. Since then I have been configuring all of my hunting rifles to meet this weight. Luckily it’s pretty easy to hit this weight with today’s CF technology and still leave 30 oz or so for a good scope. [/QUOTE]
