[QUOTE="Buddro, post: 1737472, member: 108148"] It has also been demonstrated countless times that light rifles are capable of incredible accuracy. The only places light vs heavy make a real difference are shooting from unsupported positions and punching paper where thousandths count. If you carry a light rifle by all means take your own ability to shoot unsupported with that gun into consideration before you pull the trigger the same way you need to consider your ability at a given range. However if you cant put lead on target with a 7 lb rifle at hunting ranges from typical hunting positions (even long hunting ranges) lugging a 15 pound rifle isnt going to change a thing. However, if like me you have been blessed with bad knees, 4 or 5 pounds less gear in your kit on the haul in the day hikes looking for deer and the pack out will makes a world of difference. [/QUOTE]
