[QUOTE="littlebighorn, post: 2381845, member: 112108"] My heaviest rifle is an 8.5 lb 28 nosler. I live in the west and I primarily hunt mountain terrain so I won't own anything that is heavier than that. My preference is something in the 7 lb range as well. I practice shooting out to 600 yds and beyond with those light rifles and I don't find any problems hitting targets that far. (But I also rarely need to shoot beyond 4-500 yds while hunting) A couple of lbs in my rifle makes a big difference to me when I'm packing it around for a week in rough terrain. If your rifle weighs you down, you won't hunt as hard or likely find the game you want, so I'm definitely in the light weight camp for western big game. [/QUOTE]
