[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1940495, member: 1656"] My two LR hunting rifles, both packed on foot into back country, are an unbraked 12lb 300WM and a braked 14lb 338 Edge. The Edge can't practically get much lighter without sacrificing performance IMHO. And it wasn't meant as a compromise gun. So the 300WM will become the compromise gun as the barrel will soon be burned out. I'll take it from 26" to 24" and drop the contour from Sendero to something "heavy sporter". Hopefully drop it to ~10lb. Add a brake. Really light rifles are fun, but not in large chamberings or trying to be precise at long ranges. [/QUOTE]
