[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 2547449, member: 10291"] My Western hunting, whether walking, or in a hide/stand, there is frequently the possibility of a shot at long range(. Given this, I prefer my LR rifles weight no less then 10.5#….Primarily for stability/shot certainty. Having spent the first half of my 50+ year hunting career carrying lighter sporters hunting mostly mid-range, adapting my medium build to manage the heavier rifles was an easier transition then I expected. Particularly, once I committed to the change and was able to cross the “mental barrier”. Taking up PRS competition with 16-18# rifles for full day matches in the hot summer months not only helped with my physical development, but also changed my perspective about rifle weight. [/QUOTE]
