[QUOTE="manitou, post: 2574398, member: 105280"] I find 7.5-9lbs the sweet spot for me. I have taken multiple animals beyong 600 yds with 7.5 lb rifles. We do a lot of hiking with packs. I also prefer 25-26" barrels to squeeze the best performance out of a rifle. They are also more aesthetically pleasing IMO. Short stubby rifles are not my thing. Not once in 50 years of hunting have I said to myself: "I wish I had a shorter rifle" or "this rifle is too long". A non-issue for me. I am 6'3", so maybe thst makes a difference. [/QUOTE]
