[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2596412, member: 63925"] My last build last year was .270, 27" Light Palma contour that is "semi-heavy" but I don't weigh my rifles. I am 72 and so far no need for me to do so. Had outfitter call my Sendero a fence post once when I handed it to him crossing a nasty deadfall! Weight is relative to each person. I don't have a 30" barrel (yet) but if you like what it gives you, have at it. Most of my barrels are 26-27". Some are Sendero contour without fluting. Hunting is as much psychological as it is physical. Sometimes you have to fight thru some physical and psychological barriers and I think rifle weight, pack weight, clothing are all part if it. If you need to shed weight, go for it. Do what is "right" for [U]you[/U] which may not be "right" for someone else. Rifle performance is just as subjective as for what you accept. Even with bad stenosis, thankfully I still am able hunt at 8-10. I expect/hope to be hunting 2nd rifle CO this year. Rifle weight is prob less concern to me versus the weight of my boots! OK, [USER=87776]@skipglo[/USER] this is your softball toss for the day! The rifle weight debate seems to be as debatable and argumentative as wolves! [/QUOTE]
