[QUOTE="winmagman, post: 1050116, member: 1193"] I know that most shooters feel that heavier rifles are easier to shoot accurately , but I find myself wondering if it matters where the weight comes from. For example is a 10 lb rifle with a 20 oz scope on top easier to shoot accurately than a 8.5 lb rifle with a 38 oz Actar on top. Total weight differs only by 6 oz so which would you think is easier to shoot accurately? For the sake of this discussion lets assume we're talking about a hunting rig that will be taking a cold bore shot and perhaps one maybe two follow up shots if needed. Thinking about a lighter weight rig with two scope options for different dedicated uses. Chris [/QUOTE]
