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

[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 825225, member: 4191"] [b]Re: Weight in pack versus weight in arms[/b] Exactly. We must be the weird ones. Can't believe others haven't expressed this difference between carrying a rifle in an arm versus weight carried within a well balanced backpack. If my rifle weight was inside my backpack, the extra weight wouldn't be as big a deal. Carried with my arms, 9 lbs versus 12 lbs is a difference I won't tolerate. I try to carry my rifles in a Kifaru [I]gun bearer[/I] harness attached to my backpack when feasible, like when hiking in the open areas. But there's a lot of vegetated terrain covered such that this isn't always possible where I hunt. My hunting is primarily backpack hunting, traveled by walking. Not riding an ATV. [/QUOTE]
