[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 639781, member: 39764"] Unless you are very physically fit and a young buck, you'll quickly dislike the weight as much as you like the accuracy. I do like my 111LRH but as a 'in one place' firearm and not trekking about and you'll quickly find that the long barrel is a tree branch snagger. In heavy forested hunts, you'll develop the 'hunch back' stance from walking bent over.... Been there, done that. I'm a creeper for the most part and the 111 limits that because of the weight and the physical size. I find it cumbersome, like carrying a ball bat in front of you, walking through tree branches. It is just fine to sit quietly with and wait and it excels at that as well as a great blind gun. ...... Why I also purchased a 111 lightweight Savage Hunter in 308WSM. That will be my carry about firearm at half the heft of the 111LRH. 7 versus almost 14 is a lot of granola bars or bottled water or other 'necessary' items..... Besides, I'm an old fart. I really enjoy shooting mine. It has a very unique report and the recoil is very light, partially attributable to the weight of the firearm as well as the brake. The 111LRH inspires confidence in the fact that no matter what you aim at, it's going to kill it, at least in North America. What originally got me tuned in to a 338 Lapua Magnum was Ted Nugent's cousin Rick. He has one and let my fondle it. I was immediately hooked. [/QUOTE]
