[QUOTE="ZSteinle, post: 576846, member: 10411"] i am in the same boat as you. Elk hunting this year carrying my 11lb edge and my swaro 80 spotter tripod and lunch and all the other garbage needed. Since this last season i have built a new rifle, 7mag weighing 6.5 lbs (no Scope) 8lbs ready to hunt. I will also be going with a smaller spotter, something around the lines of a nikon 50 ed or a leupold compact 50mm. I wanna drop as much weight as possible off my pack. carrying around 40 lbs on my back is getting old especially since i only weigh 150. Point being i dont think your long range rig needs to weigh 12 lbs. i love my new lightweight rifle shoots great and is light. [/QUOTE]
