[QUOTE="doubledoc, post: 1940257, member: 88419"] Doing most of my hunting in Florida the past few years, and looking for an accurate replacement for my 700 Classic in .257 Roberts, I bought a Kimber Hunter in .257. With VXIII 2.5-8, it weight just under 7lbs. I enjoyed carrying and shooting it so much, I've switched another couple of 9 lb rifles for light-wt. versions, and I couldn't be happier. 90% of the time, carry wt. looms larger than any difference in "shootability" in MOST hunting situations I've encountered. (Not arguing 1000 yrd. range work).... Makes hunting so much more fun on foot! [/QUOTE]
