[QUOTE="Weatherby Fan, post: 1498898, member: 29953"] This totally depends on what kind of hunting your doing, if your back packing for Stone Sheep in Northern BC Im pretty sure you don't want to be packing a 14lb rifle or at least I don't...... My day to day hunting rifles weigh about 7lbs scoped, a rifle scoped weight between 6.5-7.5 lbs to me is as handy as it gets for what I'm doing, I just find a 7lb scoped rifle is just dam handy for most hunting situations. That being said my older brother packs his 10lb Weatherby Mark V SS 300 Wby all over BC hunting anything and everything, I used to hunt with the same rifle and I just don't find it necessary. Regardless of the end weight of your setup you must be able to shoot it accurately. [/QUOTE]
