[QUOTE="dgr416, post: 2078477, member: 1208"] I learned in Alaska that a good long range rifle that I could tote for miles was what I needed to hunt with .There is a limit to how much you can tote and how easy it goes through the brush .I had used my 338 win mag stainless for a year in Alaska then I decided I needed more range .I chose the weather by 338-378 weatherby in a accumark with a Nikon 6.5x20 power scope .It has a 28 inch barrel with the brake and was 9.5 pounds loaded .It was really the most I could tote for miles at a time .I used an extra wide spongy sling that made it even feel lighter .I knew any more weight on my rifle that there was no way I could tote it up and down mountains and through the willows .I even used lighter weight 416 rem mags to use in the timber they were like 9 pounds with scopes .I often wonder how in the world people carry these 14 to 19 pound rifles for miles and miles .The accumark is well balanced which is very important too carry your rifle well .Weatherby truly designs their guns for hunting .I wanted to know how much the rifles y'all use are and how long are the barrels ?
