[QUOTE="Buckys, post: 1940008, member: 107750"] I think most would prefer to minimize whatever weight they carry given personal demands on maximum range and accuracy and of course cost. Lighter = $$$. Agree with everyone here that the optimal answer is very personal. Most of mine are 9.5# without ammo or bipod. The exceptions currently are a 7# 10/22, a cheap 243 that is just under 8# and a Fieldcraft in 6.5CM that is a few ounces shy of 7#. They are currently looking for a friend 7.5-8.5# with a brake and a 0.277-0.284" bore twisted once every 8-9" capable of tossing 150gr projectiles 3000fps+. [/QUOTE]
