[QUOTE="Mustang72, post: 1814114, member: 109065"] It really comes down to personal preference and what you use it for. Weight is no big deal if all you carry it is to a stand. Different if you are trying to go up and down the Rockies with it. This deer season I my main hunting rifle was a 10+ lb 26 inch rifle. Didn't bother me a bit even when I had to stalk for half a mile. Only problem I had was the 26 inch barrel was hard to move around. Found myself reaching for one with a 22 inch barrel.on the other hand I have a rifle on the way that I was trying to keep at 7 1/2 or under for the rockies. It looks like it will be about 8 lbs loaded with sling and decent scope. I guess this will have to do until I find a good deal on a nula or Barrett does what they said and starts making a left hand model. To me 7&1/2 to 8lbs is a good do everything weight. Mountain fund-raising the lighter the better. True long range- as much as your willing to carry! [/QUOTE]
