[QUOTE="Gills, post: 1940503, member: 105558"] I toted a heavy rifle on moose hunt a few years ago. Roughly 10 lbs. after twelve days of that never again. My rifle of choice currently is a sako finnlight in 7mm mag. It weighs scoped up at just a little under eight pounds. I would highly recommend that rifle to anybody. I am rolling my own for it but it is shooting five shot groups well under 1/2 Moa. I am currently putting together a fierce rifle in 28 nosier. And hope to have it at 7 1/2 lbs Or under. Really tough to do on a 26 inch barrel and magnum calibers. It really depends on your budget and what you plan to do with it. My cousin is shooting a kimber mountain ascent and is throwing some really tight groups at some distance and has shot targets out to 1000 with no trouble. as far as carrying in a scabbard that’s is great if it’s an option but it isn’t much of an option in near country at least in my opinion..
