[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2341444, member: 63925"] So now we are "weight shaming" rifles? God help us if CNN finds this out! Never truly understand this. Build the rifle to specs that meet your range needs and whatever the weight is deal with it by removing weight elsewhere. Use your pack to carry it, buy a better pack, buy a better sling, slim down your gadgets, heck slim down yourself! Seriously, we are talking a couple pounds not couple tons! I am 71 and still carry rifles in 10-12lb range easily. Are they heavy? Yes but so are my size 16H Irish Setter Elk Tracker boots...which are lot heavier😂. (Have at it [USER=87776]@skipglo[/USER]!) IMO rifle weight is more of a mental challenge than physical challenge. Let er rip!😂 [/QUOTE]
