[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1065272, member: 33822"] Both of those rifles look really nice. Getting enough posts that there does seem to be a general consensus that carrying a heavy rifle is not any fun. Been thinking how I don't mind the weight so much when I'm on a mission to cover ground and got the rifle either slashed to my pack or even just slung over my shoulder. I really notice a heavy rifle when I'm stalking through the thick stuff for several hours. Keeping still, holding the rifle in both hands, and then adjusting to look through bino's. A light rifle really is nice for that. And the toughest part is when I backpack hunt I do a mix of glassing and sitting that can lead to a long shot, as well as stalking through the forests. So I really want a rifle that can do it all. Obviously have to compromise in there somewhere on each end, but I think the happy medium is somewhere around 9.5 - 10 pounds. [/QUOTE]
