[QUOTE="brcfo_outdoors, post: 1950767, member: 113623"] Probably about 10-12lbs. A big factor is the carry system, as a crappy sling can make even a light rifle burdensome after a while. Strapped to or integrated into a pack system, I feel like it is much easier to handle a heavier rifle without noticing the additional weight. Slung I personally start to experience abrasions on my shoulders, especially when also carrying a hydration pack and/or bino harness. As a result, I like padded slings with a little bit of bungee in them, and avoid permanently attached bipods because their pointiest edge will always find your tenderest spots. [/QUOTE]
