[QUOTE="pyroducksx3, post: 575968, member: 20443"] I agree you can cut weight off of all areas. The rifle maybe 8-9lbs but then you are only cutting 3-4 lbs, but it all adds up. Why an 80mm spotter. If you are guiding maybe or scoring but they make compact scopes with 13-30+ power that weigh 21 oz or lighter. Knives I like the havalon piranta, replaceable blades so you don't need more than that. I also found that I carried stuff I never use. Go through your pack and start emtying it. I carry a couple liters of water, cliff bars and candy bars beside my gear (scope, iPod for bc computer, one tripod with interchangeable heads for scope also has a bag for using as shooting sticks, rangefinder and 10 rss of ammo) I just don't eat much while I'm out there. I'm looking into the precision rifle solutions medium tripod, under 2 lbs and made in America [/QUOTE]
