[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2768881, member: 61747"] I range from 170-190 depending on my desire to bulk or be less bulk. I feel my best at 170 and am little sh!t at 5'6". I used to carry a 13-14lb rifle and my gear runs 45 lbs (rifle, pack, binos) for a day pack. My rifle is now 9 lbs, but my gear pack is 40-42lbs. I do not like carrying anything in my hands unless I am stalking. So a sling set up or a scabbard pack is prefered for hands free. I do a lot of glassing while hiking around and need my hands free, especially if using walking sticks in the steep terrain. My personal opinion is that age and weight have little to do with a persons tolerance, it's really about desire and strength. So, me, I don't like carrying a rifle in my hands, it's in my scabbard or a sling most of the time. If I was hunting thick country and expecting jump shots I would not be carrying a long range rig that's for sure. [/QUOTE]
