[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1379573, member: 1656"] My Edge comes in around 13lbs iirc, ready to hunt. 30” Sendero contour barrel, McMillan A3 Sporter, Stiller Predator action, Burris XTR 5-25 scope. I’m sure you can go lighter but good luck shooting a group and being able to keep your hand on the barrel. You ca also go shorter and give up FPS. Perhaps when I get older or lazier my idea of a pack rifle will change. This one packed 8 miles into wilderness to take an elk and came out with the first quarter. I made a compromise on the brake to reduce concussion but still...within 15 rounds shooting in a thin shirt this rifle bruised my shoulder. Take a few pounds off and even with the best brake these rifles are not pussycats. [/QUOTE]
