[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1915976, member: 2736"] I built myself a light weight rifle for pack hunting and bear,that weighs just under 7 pounds dressed. It is a 338 RCM and a hammer at reasonable ranges. It did need a muzzle brake for control (Second/follow up). Shots would be near impossible due to muzzle rise. So if I was hunting the dark timber it would be my go to rifle. But for wide open spaces and distance the 14 lb 338 RUM was my choice and never let me down. Both rifles have there place as long as you don't expect one to replace the other and ask to much of the little rifle. The only advantage a light rifle has over the heavy rifle, Is weight. all other advantages go to the heavy rifle. Why take a chance and ruin a expensive hunt by trying to save a few pounds and hunting the wrong rifle for the terrain. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
