[QUOTE="Slick8, post: 2765354, member: 52585"] I've went the other way and moved both of my hunting rifles to 8.5 lbs. scoped. Now having said that they're both wearing 30 ounce Mk5's as I don't believe in skimping on glass. Both wear gilled brakes in 7 SAUM and 30-28 Nosler. I hunted last year with an ultra-light Leupold tripod with a small ball head at just over 2 lbs. I'm thinking of moving to a standard sized CF tripod / ball head in the 4 pound range for stability and height. Now what I really need to do is reduce the overall weight of my day hunting pack but dang with 15x56 glass, tripod and rifle it adds up quickly not to mention food and water for the day plus all the other essentials..... ;).
