[QUOTE="akmtnhnt, post: 3061484, member: 120824"] My backpack up a mountain gun is 5lbs all up, but it's not in a magnum caliber. Magnums are largely not needed since we have range finders. Are you hunting past 500 yards? Because a 308(or anything in the 308 case family) will get you there and now you can spot the shots if suppressed or braked. A 7lb 308 is very shootable, a 8lb 300wm is not. All the 300wm does is extend distance, that most people don't hunt at anyways. So why take the recoil and reduced precision if you don't need it?
