[QUOTE="Lenny Foffa, post: 2769797, member: 100742"] I'm 74 and weight 220 lbs. Yes I know I need a diet real bad. My favorite Deer rifle in the Weatherby Ultra light which weights 5 3/4 ponds, then I added Leupold steel rings and bases and the a Leupold VX 3 in 2.5X to 8X . so it became 6 and 3/4 pounds. So I leave my big 7 ounce Invicta watch back at the house. BUT , Then I slowly walk 200 to 300 yards with a Trigger stick, to the blind and sit there all day, with the rifle on a tri pod. So I often wonder the TRUE vale of the super light rifle. If you not really and truly " Mountain Hunting" in a spot and stalk style, is it a really big deal. I'm not so sure anymore. I still love the rifle and caliber, but today, I would not go purchase another an even lighter rifle for $3000,00 just to save another 6 ounces. Since I really like the rifles I have, I just think, I need to get in better shape to use the rifles correctly. [/QUOTE]
