[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2007655, member: 61747"] I've hunted with heavy chassis rifles for a while and last year I had enough. I built a 10lber. Folding chassis and a suppressor. I'll never go back to a heavy. 8-10 is a nice blend for packing and stability. There is no reason for me to haul a pig around the mountain anymore. I'd rather carry 5 lbs more food, snacks, or comfort items. My day pack is 42lbs usually, all equipment minus clothes I take it the field. A back pack hunt for 5 days is 60lbs. For me, I notice the biggest issue is just getting used to the weight on the hips, shoulders, and lower back. I hike all year and usually take my pack and carry the same basic weight. Over time the weight becomes normalish and doesn't bug me. [/QUOTE]
