[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 1285275, member: 63138"] Apparently it is still true. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Or in this case, rifle weight. I'm in Ragnarnar's camp on this one. In fact I go a little further by recognizing that if I drag a heavy rifle around the mountains, and I'll go where they are as steep as you can go without a rope, I"ll get in even better shape. Oh yeah, and the rifle will shoot better and have less recoil. You might even be able to spot your own shots. My "light" rifle is 10.5 lbs and most run around 12 lbs. A buddy of mine has a 280 AI in a 5 pound rifle. He has no trouble shooting an unbraked RUM or 375 Ruger but the 280 AI kicks the crap out of him and he can only take so much bench time with it. Everybody has a different view of what is good in a rifle though and if you want the rifle to be light you better make it light or you won't be happy. Either way I think you will really like the 28 Nosler. It is a well designed cartridge that will run neck and neck with the 7mm RUM. [/QUOTE]
