[QUOTE="73driver, post: 1742237, member: 36473"] I just finished an Arizona Coues hunt with a 8 pound rifle (total weight scope ammo etc). Lots of hiking up and down rough country. I used to hunt with a much lighter rig, pencil thin barrel, carbon fiber stock and the lightest scope possible. That lighter rig was accurate on the range bench but out hunting it would throw shots if I did not get down on the gun just right. I find the heavier rifle easy enough to carry and it is easier to steady up. Both are in 270 WIN. Just my thought and experience with a light rifle. [/QUOTE]
