[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 1061839, member: 63138"] I have to say I never understood having a light rifle for backpacking and such. I mean guys will join a gym so they can pump iron and then they worry about a couple extra pounds on the rifle? You get a free workout with a heavier rifle. I had 70 pounds of gear including the rifle for a back pack bear hunt in the Olympics last year. The rifle (300 RUM) weighs 11.5 pounds. My buddy had a super ultra light something or other that kicks the crap out of him and isn't much good past 500 yards. I say get a rifle good to 1,200 yards and it weighs what it weighs. Same thing with binos or scopes. Get something that works for the intended purpose and it weighs what it weighs. [/QUOTE]
