[QUOTE="Weatherby Fan, post: 1814193, member: 29953"] If Im backpack hunting for days on end 6.5lbs or less scoped, everyday hunting rifle 8lbs or less scoped, my 300 PRC is 8lbs 12oz scoped which Ill use for Elk hunting mainly. I have a 280AI built on a Defiance Rebel action and a 24" #2 fluted Benchmark barrel set in an Ultralight Wildcat stock and it weighs 7lbs 12 oz scoped with Talleys and Leupold 4.5-14x40 30mm CDS scope, to me this is an ideal weight for an everyday hunting rifle.
