[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1177785, member: 4191"] A variety of weights. Only the user can determine when too heavy is too heavy. By far and away the majority of my hunting is backpack hunting. When I start cussing the weight of my rifle, I know it's too heavy - for me. Too heavy has changed some over the past 40 years. But anything more than ~12 1/2 lbs was too heavy for me, even in the prime of life. Now anything more than ~10 lbs is too heavy for any length of backpacking in the mountains and valleys. It depends a lot on one's method of hunting, the time and duration spent traveling versus stand hunting, the total weight in the backpack, and also how the game is transported back to civilization.
