[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1939925, member: 8873"] Tim, Feenix, and some others hit it (in my opinion), you’re ability to lug that weight around and shoot it will differ from others. A few years back (as a flat lander basically at sea level) I carried a 25 pound rifle and all the fixins at 8500 asl, and we went up that first day. I’m not working out like a mad man, running 5-10 miles a couple times a week, and a 12-18 mile ruck with a 60 pound pack thrown in every Wednesday. I’ve surpassed that 40 mark and live a much more sediment life, would prefer something closer to a 10 pounder. Had a light rifle (about 8 lbs scoped) strapped to my pack last trip for a couple of days and kept reaching back to see if it was still there.😁 [/QUOTE]
