The Basics, Starting Out
Should I get a long range shooting or hunting gun or try to balance between the two?

[QUOTE="Hikinghunter, post: 3014039, member: 128309"] I’d say most people would call a heavy hunting rifle 10-15 lbs. if you can find a 6lb setup that you can shoot, awesome. I haven’t found one in the bigger caliber stuff, though. Weight is less of an issue for me because I like hiking in at 1am and glassing from vantage points at sunrise. 12 lbs isn’t bad if it’s strapped on a pack, balanced and aligned with your center of gravity. Probably less fun if you’re carrying on a sling or in hand. [/QUOTE]
