[QUOTE="tankgijohn72, post: 1422438, member: 77441"] I think it really depends on how far to back country you are going. I have never packed a second rifle. Not a bad idea to have an extra one in camp if you are using horses. But if on foot, its too much weight. I usually take 20 rounds and an extra scope. I like to level the back up scope and zero it on the rifle that its intended to be used on. Then take the scope AND rings off and zero my main scope on the rifle. Should my scope get destroyed for some reason, I should be able to install the new scope and rings and be relatively close to zero with the new scope. Should be able to get it zeroed in the field with a few rounds and still have some left to continue hunting. [/QUOTE]
