[QUOTE="Core781, post: 1738248, member: 106156"] LOL man'g this made my day. I was going to say perceived weight is what you get from carrying a rifle slung. Versus carrying weight evenly distributed throughout your body. But yes losing weight is always easier on your body of you are overweight. I'm a very muscular individual, and to me a 5lb versus 10lb rifle is not noticed. I used to do a 12 hour roving watch carrying a full sized M60 and associated gear in the Navy. This is an extreme, but it's easier to just buy or build an ultralight rifle versus embark on changing your body composition as affore mentioned.. My cardio health is good enough so thay I can carry said gear for very long distances at a slow pace. If I were doing high speed stuff, I would need to lose weight and slowly increase my stamina. It takes significant time and effort, and a period of discomfort. Most folks would rather allpw themselves reach apathy and die than go through this uncomfortable process. So trying to argue your weight case to sell an older heavier rifle is probably less effective than arguing the merits of the rifle itself. [/QUOTE]
