[QUOTE="Jerry M, post: 1689970, member: 6330"] Weight is very important in the mountains. On a trip to western Montana a few years ago, I carried an 11 pound pre-64 model 70 Win, McMillian Stock, with a NF 3.5x15 scope. My buddy had a 9 pound Remington 700 with Nikon scope. I definitely am rethinking my rifle & scope combination for our return trip next October. People may say go to the gym. But there is no (reasonable cost) substitute for walking in the high altitudes of the mountains. I am older than you and out of shape. It's important to get the proper equipment. I encourage you do get something you like and are comfortable carrying. Rifle & scope combination, a proper fitting pack, and proper clothes for the environment are all very important in mountain (or other extreme types of) hunting. Good Luck Jerry [/QUOTE]
