[QUOTE="Predator 22, post: 1317091, member: 79364"] Proof sendero 3 lbs. 4 oz. Proof sendero light 3 lbs. 1/2 oz. Bartlein #3 unfluted 3.5 lbs all at 26 " so not saving much weight to begin with. Depending on how much weight fluting cuts you may not save any at all and proof is twice the cost of a Bartlein including fluting. Do you elk hunt in the high country "hommie"? There might not be a great difference In 7oz. But they do add up. Especially when you are traversing several thousand vertical feet. Last year I hunted with my brother-in-law a former Marine. His pack was around 8lbs heavier and his gun was probably 2lbs heavier. We switched packs and guns for a while so he could try my pack with my gun attached. I could tell the difference right away. Not just in the weight but the way it rode in his cheap pack. If you want to shave a bit of weight and like the looks, go for it. You may not save a bunch on a #3 but if you have a finished weight in mind that weight may help get you there. Good luck and have fun on your elk hunt. [/QUOTE]
