[QUOTE="youngtrout, post: 1250700, member: 5373"] I'm confused,,,there are so many ways to save weight in a sheep pack than the rifle, basically the tool that will be last line to your success. My perfect setup is 10 pounds, includes a 5.5-22 night force. Not sure if it's day hunting, but when I hear a 8.5 pound rifle is too heavy I'm just confused. I can vary my pack weight 2-5 pounds with just how much water I choose to carry. Just don't get the need to nut a rifle by going sub 8. And sorry, but I'd say 90% of sheep hunters, including me. Has that extra 3 pounds or so in extra body weight. But I really don't care, other than a post anti ultralight rifle for sheep..I'd just spend money and effort differently, still includes a custom rifle, just not at these weights. I will say, as long as ranges are kept within reason, additional recoil is acceptable. Then ya, bring on 5 pounds, but keeping in the title of this forum, I like options that 5-6 pounds does not give me [/QUOTE]
