[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 714073, member: 12443"] it would vary depending on how a person hunts/shoots. in nc pa the vast majority of lr hunting is from a stationary position. the steep terrain there dosent lend itself well to prone shooting in many cases. therefore heavier guns shot from portable benches are popular. over the last 10 years or so more and more hunters there have been moving away from the 300 weatherby and simililar type cases to larger ones. at least for the longer shots. thats where the heavier gun weight is more appriciated in my opinion. if your just taking it from a vehicle and carrying it a short distance what difference does it make as to how much it weighs unless your a diehard belly shooter. i have lr guns weighing from 12 lb to 20lb and all the way to over 30lb. ive shot friends guns weighing over 50 lb. i personaly prefer the heavier ones. especially when using 300 gr bullets and about a half pound of powder.:) [/QUOTE]
