[QUOTE="TimberSlayer, post: 2007659, member: 113440"] Hey there. I would suggest using the rifle you are most comfortable with and have confidence in. Nothing like having a gun you don't trust. 15lbs is not awful. I would not adjust anything in my pack. I stay in great shape and would hope that 5 lbs extra doesn't break me. I have a light rifle and the whole setup with sling, scope, and bipod....I am still at 11 lbs. With that being said. I would focus on dropping 5 lbs by getting some lighter gear. I got a new pack a few years back and its over a pound lighter that my previous pack, I got a lighter tripod and a smaller and lighter packable jacket..... but I still carry about 30 lbs on an average day hunt. I also carry a jet boil and coffee all two time. Lol. Just make sure you have a good sling, or a good system in your pack to carry the rifle. You will hardly notice the extra weight. Sounds fun.
