[QUOTE="dig, post: 684535, member: 26939"] Depends on the hunt. Are you going on a sheep hunt in the chugaks, a brown bear pack hunt. A real backpack hunt, days of food and supplies. Most people do not really back back hunt, sheep nuts aside. There is a reason backpackers cut the tags out of clothes, shorten belts and straps and weigh every piece of equipment. Weight does matter. If you are slinging the rifle effects are more felt. On true backpack hunts I use a lightend 270 WSM with 4.5x14 Leupold. It just over 7 pounds, I have never felt handicapped with the rifle. Again, it all depends on the situation. [/QUOTE]
