[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1062510, member: 33822"] Phorwath and Engineering101, it sure is cool to hear from other guys that hunt hard. I've been backpack hunting for a little over 15 years now, so nowhere near as long as either of you, but every bit as hard. Glad both of you have shared your knowledge and advice here... sound like you both have taken two different approaches to the style of rifle you pack. When I first set out to build my 338 RUM, I had about the 10 pound range is my goal. With the two scopes I've narrowed it down to there's about a 14 ounce swing in weight. The lighter scope would make the rifle handle a bit better and the heavier scope I [B][I]think[/I][/B] would perform better at long range. I'll have to think on it some more. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
