Why does my long range rifle have to weight 12lbs +?

[QUOTE="dig, post: 576080, member: 26939"] Fifty Driver, I guess it does depend on your definition of Long Range. To me a the small bodied Couse at 800 yards is certainly long range and a light weight 7 WSM or the likes will more than do the job. I have taken 17 Couse with rifles ranging from 300 Wby to 25-06 in search of the perfect rifle. As for optics without something in the 12-15x range and a solid tripod you are at a huge disadvantage to find them. I gave up the spotter for a doubler or my Jim White tripler, saves a lot of weight and allows for valuation prior to walking. I have found the Luepy 4.5x14 with turrets more than sufficient to make hits to 1,000 yards (although I don't shoot game that far) and is a very good quality/weight compromise. [/QUOTE]
