Why does my long range rifle have to weight 12lbs +?

[QUOTE="lonegunman762x51, post: 728167, member: 44486"] I built a long range 338 RUM this year. It is a heavy(.920 at the muzzle) 28" barrel with brake. I never planned on carrying it 5 to 10 miles a day. I have a far lighter 300 Win Mag with a thin 26" bbl and an even lighter .308 for extended hikes. I'd go thru my gear a little closer and see what can be dropped from the pack. Then I'd think about a little less gun and shooting under 600yds. I packed for serious distance my last two deer hunts and in the end, I stalked and shot from under 100yds both times. My gun is a bit of overkill on pretty much everything under 1/2 a mile. But, there is a long range elk with a massive rack in it's future. [/QUOTE]
