[QUOTE="Methow Packer, post: 945468, member: 67515"] I'm 65 now. Do a lot of my hunting on my horses so weight isn't quite as important. However my .300 WM had a #2-3 sporter 26" barrel that weighed 7.5 lb with scope. The recoil was heavy and the barrel was too whippy and after three shots at the range accuracy was a problem. Went to a #4 fluted stainless 26" w/a Vais brake. I might have increased the weight 12 oz or so but the trade off has been worth it. Most people can handle carrying a 8 1/2 pound rifle if its not an all day 15 mile hike. [/QUOTE]
