[QUOTE="LongBomber, post: 2473012, member: 14435"] You see lots of rifles in the 11-12 pound range on this site. I have a few right in there too, nice for range work or plinking but not what I want to carry all day in the mtns. I like sub 8 pounds for a mtn rifle, in a cartridge that is easy to shoot well. Right now the fav in my collection is a 260ai just under 8 pounds. It is the first rifle I go for come hunting season. I think 280 will be fine, I don’t enjoy much more rifle than that when you are at 8 pounds. I have a 33n thats just under 8, way to much in the recoil department to be controllable very few people can shoot it well after the first bang. [/QUOTE]
