[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1815259, member: 68875"] I guess I am in the minority here. My "lightweight mountain elk rifle" is 8lbs 13oz. Feels like a featherweight to me though. My "carry rifles" are between 9lbs 6oz to 11lbs. All plenty light, but have enough weight to be very stable for long shots if the need arises. And out west, you never know if you are going to jump a buck at 50 yards, or see them across a couple canyons @ 800+. My long range elk rifle is 15lbs. It sucks to carry, but it is not built for that. My son-in-law won't hunt with anything else though, (his "lucky" rifle) so HE gets to hump it around. [/QUOTE]
