[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1436206, member: 10755"] Wish I could post pics. I have 2 rifles that are identical in weight 14lbs 6oz when empty. Both built on Rem 700 Sendero II rifles with 30” barrels, one in 264WM, the other in 300WM. Neither are fluted. I hunt with both in mountainous country all winter here, we are NOT stalking with these rifles though, only spot and shoot at LR, we have no qualms packing them in or out, BUT, when you got 60+lbs of venison too, it can get very tiresome quick on the long haul back out. I have much lighter rifles too, Win Model 70 EW’s, Kimber 8400’s in similar cartridges I use for stalking on farm fringe country, long shots are rare doing this. Cheers. :) [/QUOTE]
