[QUOTE="tomsd, post: 1994266, member: 74603"] LOL - it also depends on age. I could not resist buying a beautiful - in very good shape - Japanese made (circa 1995) Weatherby Mark 5 Stainless in 300 Win that I saw on sale ($745 with a Leopold base and a brake) in my favorite gun store (Parkers) in my ole hometown of Klamath Falls, Ore. In the shop - it felt fine - but when I finally got it cleared here in SD - geesh - it felt heavy next to my 30.06. I guess at 74 - I notice those things - even tho I am 6 ft - 210lbs. In my youth - would have never given a second thought about packing a rifle that went around 9 lbs - with scope. Now ? Probably have to have some young guide drive them toward my seated position. :) [/QUOTE]
