[QUOTE="gvjm, post: 1814559, member: 52138"] This years observation, I built an AR-10 in 6.5 CM. Even with a carbon fiber barrel the gun weighs in at 10 1/2 lbs. carrying with a strap is no problem but 7 1/2 lbs is in the upper alone making it rather unwieldy. In Texas we stand hunt and that last 30 minutes before dark you’re spotting with your rifle. With that much weight up front it gets old quick! This became even more apparent when I switched off to my 300 Ham’r which weighs 7 1/2 lbs total!! I’m seriously thinking of going to a small frame AR-10 to get the weight more manageable. Being 66 doesn’t help either! [/QUOTE]
