[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1495129, member: 27307"] It depends on what the rest of us consider as being heavy for hunting. There are other discussions here that will cover this in more detail than I want to so check the search feature for more reading. I personally do not mind a 15 pound hunting rifle and carry one regardless of other opinions. The other discussion which will come up is based on the design of the Ruger RPR. Apparently Ruger is trying to entice the long range shooters/competitors rather than the longer range hunters. This style of chassis usually lends itself to the shooters not the hunters. I have several chassis rifles which I use for hunting and I've had good results and I'm comfortable using them. If you're considering this for club competitions or an introductory rifle for the .338 Lapua then your in good stead. The reports on the other RPRs have been very complimentary. Wait for the others to post, sit back and enjoy!;):D [/QUOTE]
