[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 3019243, member: 61747"] Yes sir. My rifle, very similar to yours, runs under 9 lbs. I just practice in the field with a triggercam and try and improve that foundation at a fast pace. I hunt predators mainly so I don't always have time nor can cut the distance. Take what I get if the conditions allow. That generally means I have a plan in my head, execute the plan, and with a small target at long range I need to get solid quickly. I have packed 14 lb rifles and the same issue was there, not solid, not going to be good. Only time I felt a boat anchor was fun to shoot was at a range or a PRS match where I was not backpacking and hiking miles and miles. I do believe a heavier rifle helps maintain sight picture much better than a light rifle and that does have merit on follow ups, spotting your impact, etc. You cannot always get into the best position to control that recoil in the field. Guess I could hit the gym more....... [/QUOTE]
