[QUOTE="jmden, post: 427203, member: 1742"] mind, phorwath has got it right above. Gotta figure out what's best for you. I'm packing about a 13lb rifle right now--nearly 4 pounds heavier than the last rifle I packed--if you are on a maintained trail or pretty easy terrain, that weight may not be an issue, but get off trail in the steep and nasty and/or bushwacking and every ounce begins to count more than ever. I managed to shave off a couple of pounds worth of stuff this year (again) to help make up for the extra weight of the new gun--so that approach may work as well. I go through my gear with a VERY critical eye sometimes several times a year trying to make my pack as lightweight and compact as possible while still packing what's needed--sometimes this can help make up for a heavier rifle IF you have the experience to really understand what you need/should have and what you don't need depending on the type of hunting you are doing AND your knowledge of available gear and it's capabilities.
