[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 886918, member: 4191"] When you get into your late 50s, your opinions may evolve. Particularly when you hunt geography and terrain that can only be accessed by backpack hunting. For example, there aren't many roads in Alaska. And even 4-wheeler ATVs can't navigate up many river cuts in the mountains. If it's a hassle getting into the country being hunted, it only gets much more physically demanding coming out with a harvested game animal. Lastly, I just enjoy myself more when not carrying around a 12lb + rifle. I agree that lighter rifles are more challenging to shoot and connect with at long range. Doesn't mean it can't be done.
