[QUOTE="Aoudad shooter1975, post: 1499573, member: 102560"] I have become a lot more sensitive to weight the older I get. When I first started hunting hard in my mid 20s I used a stock Weatherby accumark, and a Blaser R93 off-road...neither lightweight options ( between 10-12.5lbs), and really never thought much about it..I watched my packweight with managing my sleeping bag, food, etc...the gun was just "what it weighed"..now I really try to trim every ounce I can I've found you can build a pretty dang good rifle under 9 lbs without much problem...I'd think with a good scope, sling decent components I'd say a smudge under 9lbs is both affordable to build, easy to carry and very shootable.
