[QUOTE="Gills, post: 1951254, member: 105558"] Really it just. Depends on what you are comfortable with. Me personally my mountain and pack I find I try to have them under eight pounds. I don’t use a bipod simply because I don’t like the weight. But when u start getting into rifles of this weight especially in magnum calibers you tend to loose some accuracy after 3-5 shots depending on the rifle. But most hunting situations that simply is not a problem. but really this is entirely your decision. Lots of different things can come into play, Like how you carry the rifle, Sling, pack. If tour in bear country it is pretty necessary to Cary in your hand. How many days in a row will you be lugging it? How much recoil to you like so mind shooting with a muzzle break or not. What kind of terrain are you walking in. [/QUOTE]
