[QUOTE="dok7mm, post: 1500001, member: 90080"] Got a cell signal up on a 9,500 ft. ridge in CO, so thought I'd weigh in on rifle wt. A week ago I'd have said 10# + for a hunting rifle was ideal, but after a week of up & down I'd trade my front seat in hell for a 7# rig. I know it won't shoot as well, but at 70 years old, it's time to get a lighter rig or move down to the sage brush. Well, lunch is over and I'd better get back to hunting. This warm weather and full moon has turned the mulies to nocturnal, at least the older ones. It's tuff working the ledge rocks with this anchor on my shoulder, but it's still the greatest joy I know of to spend time in the fall. [/QUOTE]
