[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2595770, member: 75451"] Big heavy rifles, plus the gear associated with hunting is definitely for the young and fit! If your hunting is walking long distances, potentially in rugged terrain…..unnecessary weight is not your friend! Hunting is supposed to be enjoyable…..not a remake of the “Bataan Death March”! If you’re not a competitive triathlete, but a mere mortal, and use horses or mechanized travel to get to your shooting location…..weight is a non-issue. Hell, if rails are available, use a “Big Bertha” replica. Our (wife and I) weight limits with our 24”barrel length limits come in at 9 pounds (scoped, fully loaded, & slung)! We could build/buy lighter rifles, but a 70+ years of age…..there’s a mileage limit that a lighter rifle will not overcome. Plus we have our preferred hunting cartridges that will become uncomfortable to shoot in a noticeably lighter rifle! It all comes down to a personal preference and needs! memtb [/QUOTE]
