[QUOTE="ihuntak, post: 2053807, member: 96030"] Lots of good factory sub 6# rifles today. A vx2 4-12 will keep it around 7#. When you are carrying a 50 pound pack already, why would you want to carry a 8-10 pound rifle? I also would hate to carry anything with a 26” barrel. Might be okay in the desert or high alpine, but if you are going through alders to climb a mountain that would get old fast catching every branch. My daughters sheep was taken at 300 yards with a kimber Montana in 338 fed. It’s decent for covering the bear potential too. [/QUOTE]
