[QUOTE="Montana'eer, post: 2404158, member: 113417"] I think it all depends on individual. Some people can carry weight fine, some can't. To me a 7lb rifle with a good sling is the same as a 10lb rifle with a good sling. I really don't notice the difference after a while. Where I notice the weight is upland hunting, where I carry a shotgun at the ready AND have to haul my dogs water with me- usually a full 2 liter bladder and close to another gallon in the pack. 8-10 miles is the norm. A 6lb Citori Feather Lightning O/U sure as heck feels better than a 8lb Silver every day. If your trip involves backpacking- that's another story. I always do practice hikes for big trips. Always made the guys in our Scout troops do the same. Work up distance and weight, do it often enough to where you build stamina and find YOUR comfort zone. [/QUOTE]
