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

[QUOTE="300rum, post: 887553, member: 6231"] I have to apologize for my previous remarks. I forgot one tinny detail (i'm on 40's and as you mentioned at 50's i will change my way of thinking) ad of course as you guys on 50's i will change my hunting style and i will try to get a lighter rifle. but.... hunting with heavier rifle can be done. One of my hunting partners (hi is 57) hunts with me with 12lb rifle all day. of course we have to stop more often, hunt smart, and if e get something we have first to get the rifles to the truck and then very light loads we got the game quarter by quarter out.... Of course i load my pack double, and his is very light, but heck (all what his hauling out is less for me on the next trip). here is the photo.... first photo is myself with double load 2nd photo (the guy with rifle) is my elk partner (57 year old) with his light load. we haved lots of fun and ... well for one day of backpacking didn;t was so bad. (we wore hunting on ONLY FOOT HUNTING AREA). We noticed using plastic snow sled is easy to get the game out then on backpack . When you go downhill you have no load behind you (it slided) and when you go up hill (is the only tie when you pull) easy then load all the game on backpack (uphill or downhill) if the terrain permits to drag a plastic sled.
