[QUOTE="RidgeReaper208, post: 1951083, member: 56638"] Each to their own, carry what works for you. Packing a 12-15lbs rifle makes sense if that is what you are comfortable hiking with. Personally, less is more and having a lightweight, effective shooting platform is more important than carrying a heavier, larger caliber boom stick. My current setup tips the scale at 8.5lbs to include optics, bipod and a loaded magazine. Titanium & carbon fiber is worth its weight in gold when your chasing giants in rugged, steep country. Fierce CT Edge 300PRC Nightforce NX8 Atlas Bipod Hornady 212 ELD-X Near or Far....it don’t care! [/QUOTE]
