[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 1814427, member: 61747"] I have 2 rifles I use now strictly for chasing wolves all winter. I say that because there are 2 things that suck about winter hunting....snow shoeing and riding my snowbike with a pack. One rifle is a creedmoor and weighs 8.5 lbs with suppressor. My other rifle is a 6.5 prc with folding chassis and suppressor and weighs 10 lbs. I prefer the PRC folder for packing on the bike or sled as I run the barrel up with the chassis folded in my eberlestock. I am packing barrel down I run the folder so I have less sticking up catching on stuff. The lighter creed I will use if I know the day is going to be a real buttkicker hike/snow shoe day and ounces count. so for me 8 to 10 lbs with suppressor seems pretty comfy. All of my past long range rifles were 11.5-13. [/QUOTE]
