[QUOTE="Buano, post: 2030090, member: 21641"] Like you, I went through covid-19 hell. Mine started the third week of March. For 5 weeks it felt like someone was standing on my chest as I tried to breath. I went from being quite athletic (for 63 years old) to someone who had to rest during a short walk with my dog. Eventually my lungs cleared but I had no endurance at all for MONTHS. My EKGs showed "abnormal T-waves". Doctors did lung scans (clear), cathed my coronary arteries and found them completely clear, but still I dragged ***. Then at the end of September, all of a sudden, I could FINALLY handle light exercise. I can now see the road to recovery. I expect that by next March, I should be able to do almost everything I could before COVID-19. They call those of us with residual effects from covid-19 "long-haulers". Since it's a new disease no one knows how long the long in "long-haul" will be. It looks like most of my symptoms will be gone within a year — but that's A FULL YEAR LOST to this disease! You just went through 20-days of covid and are already looking at getting back in the field. Based on that, everything I've learned about covid, and my personal experience, I suspect you will be 100% by well before next season. As such, an ultra-light rifle may not be NEEDED. That said, I still like the idea of Weatherby's Mark-V Backcountry in Weatherby's 6.5MM RPM. It's [B]5.4 pounds[/B], has a Trigger-Tech trigger, and is guaranteed to shoot. (Every Mark-V I've had my hands on shot much better than their guarantee.) Sometimes we get what we want by convincing ourselves we "need" it. If you think you need an ultralight rifle — GO FOR IT!
