[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1675177, member: 2736"] My preferred rifle weight is 9 to 14 pounds. Being a builder, I have found that super light rifles are very finicky about the ammo they are fed, are not as steady when holding them and trying to make a shot, especially when winded from going up and down the mountains. And light weight rifles with long barrels add another element to finding an accurate load because of excessive harmonics. To me, the heavy rifle has to many advantages over a light rifle and carrying a few pounds more is worth the effort. when you add a brake to any rifle the improvement adds another level to shooting/hunting. The only rifle I felt that was to heavy to pack around was my 34 pound 50 BMG. The heaviest rifle I use for hunting in Colorado is 13.5 pounds, and is not bad with the proper pack or sling. Sad to say, I am 77 and don't know what I will do when I cant carry any of these rifles. I attached a video on one of my favorite rifles (A 300 RUM) that weighs 11.5 pounds and after installing a Tuned brake recoil went from 35 ft/lbs of recoil to 10.5 for a 70 % reduction in recoil. this rifle is not only fun to shoot, it is deadly at range. and less recoil than a 243.
