[QUOTE="memtb, post: 3097992, member: 75451"] In my opinion……9 pounds or under all up (scoped, loaded, slung) if your hunting will be somewhat physical. Another IMO, hunting cartridges for big game start at 7 mm up through the 375 RUM, I guess that it depends upon what you’re hunting and what ranges you anticipate shooting! For a practical "carry weight" hunting rifle having tolerable recoil. While not mentioned, the use of a brake is purely personal……"personally" I hate them! As a general statement…..your hunting rifles will not likely be shot hundreds/thousands of times per year. So a fairly lightweight rifle without a brake should be quite doable! Obviously, I'm in the minority with many of my opinions! 😉 memtb [/QUOTE]
