[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 2007687, member: 10291"] I think an individual’s physical make-up, and ability to shoot accurately and consistently at long range influences the acceptable weight for a “carry” LR rifle. For my 5”10/medium build/70 year old structure, 10-13 pounds is a manageable weight range for me that meets my requirements. With my hunting methods I rarely carry my rifle in a back pack. I use a well padded should sling and relieve the weight by using a straight arm, hand support under the butt plate to eliminate the weight in my shoulder, thus neutralizing any pressure, and feeling more like a slung sporter-weight rifle.
