[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 2574634, member: 10291"] IMO, the balance point of the rifle is as influential as the weight. My hunting entails shots from 100 yards to 1200 yards. About half my shots are prone, about 45% supported upright(sitting, kneeling, standing), and 5% of shots off-hand and usually under 150 yards. I like a bit of weight, with the sweet spot at 10-12 pounds for stabile +1000 yard shooting in hunting conditions. Choice of scope and caliber usually determines where I fall in this weight range. At 71 years old and medium build, I have used this weight range for about 20 years. Perhaps this will change when I’m old🤡. My go to rifle for the past dozen years.
