[QUOTE="catorres1, post: 1016325, member: 80699"] For those of you that shoot alot, maybe taking classes etc....what do you train with? Do you use your hunting rig with sporter weight rifles that you might carry up a mountain, or do you have another heavier barreled rifle for that purpose? And when taking classes, do you show up with your 8lb #2 contour hunting rig, or do you find you need a heavier, heavy barreled rifle to handle the volume of shooting in a class? I ask this because as I consider what rifle or rifles I will buy, I find myself looking at one in a more reasonable carrying weight (8.5ish pounds), and a second for training and classes with a heavy barrel to handle the heat generated by the volume of shooting in a class, or a day of long range practice etc. I am not sure this is a good approach and wanted to see what some of the older hands here do. One rifle? Two? If it were not for the weight issue, I would probably just do one to save on cash, but also so that the gun I practice with is the one I hunt with. But that appears impractical for me as I don't want a 10 lb hunting rig, so it seems I need two, but hopefully, I am mistaken. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
