[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1915995, member: 68875"] I only hunt out west. I only own one rifle under 9#, 8lbs 14oz scoped to be exact. Most are between 9.5-11.5#. One is 15.5#. I hiked/walked last year up to 16 miles a day. 10.5# gets heavy, 12# would not have made that much of a difference. I would rather have a little extra rifle weight and have a rifle that is more forgiving and easier to shoot well. The only thing I am not thrilled about is a really nose heavy rifle. Balance is nice to have. Rem Varmint with an ultralight stock will be unbalanced. I would look at a barrel swap first. [/QUOTE]
